The structure SPITupleTable is defined thus:

typedef struct
{
MemoryContext tuptabcxt; /* memory context of result table */
uint32 alloced; /* number of alloced vals */
uint32 free; /* number of free vals */
TupleDesc tupdesc; /* row descriptor */
HeapTuple *vals; /* rows */
} SPITupleTable;
If the select query returns 10 rows (say),
how to access the result of each row separately?

Can you please help me with the syntax of the same?

Regards,

~Jas

Did you read the whole page?

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/spi-spi-execute.html

Especially the bit where it says:

  If the return value of the function is SPI_OK_SELECT then you may use
  the global pointer SPITupleTable *SPI_tuptable to access the result
  rows.

From there you can get the data. There's also the helper functions like
SPI_getvalue().

Hope this helps,
