I didn't understand correctly - did you mean that we don't need SRF if
we need to display statistics for a specific object?
Otherwise, we need this when we display information on all database
objects (tables or indexes):
while ((entry = ScanStatSnapshot(pgStatLocal.snapshot.stats, &hashiter))
!= NULL)
{ CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();
tabentry = (PgStat_StatTabEntry *) entry->data;
if (tabentry != NULL && tabentry->vacuum_ext.type == type) tuplestore_put_for_relation(relid, rsinfo, tabentry);
}
I know we can construct a HeapTuple object containing a TupleDesc,
values, and nulls for a particular object, but I'm not sure we can
augment it while looping through multiple objects.
/* Initialise attributes information in the tuple descriptor */
tupdesc = CreateTemplateTupleDesc(PG_STAT_GET_SUBSCRIPTION_STATS_COLS);
...
PG_RETURN_DATUM(HeapTupleGetDatum(heap_form_tuple(tupdesc, values, nulls)));
If I missed something or misunderstood, can you explain in more detail?
Actually, I mean why do we need a possibility to return statistics for
all tables/indexes in one function call? User anyway is supposed to
use pg_stat_vacuum_indexes/pg_stat_vacuum_tables view, which do
function calls one per relation. I suppose we can get rid of
possibility to get all the objects in one function call and just
return a tuple from the functions like other pgstatfuncs.c functions
do.
I haven’t thought about this before and agree with you. Thanks for the clarification! I'll fix the patch this evening and release the updated version.
