For tuples coming from on-disk relations, the information is * collected from the pg_attribute, pg_attrdef, and pg_constraint catalogs. * Transient row types (such as the result of a join query) have anonymous * TupleDesc structs that generally omit any constraint info; therefore the * structure is designed to let the constraints be omitted efficiently. * * Note that only user attributes, not system attributes, are mentioned in * TupleDesc. * * If the tupdesc is known to correspond to a named rowtype (such as a table's * rowtype) then tdtypeid identifies that type and tdtypmod is -1. Otherwise * tdtypeid is RECORDOID, and tdtypmod can be either -1 for a fully anonymous * row type, or a value >= 0 to allow the rowtype to be looked up in the * typcache.c type cache. * * Note that tdtypeid is never the OID of a domain over composite, even if * we are dealing with values that are known (at some higher level) to be of * a domain-over-composite type. This is because tdtypeid/tdtypmod need to * match up with the type labeling of composite Datums, and those are never * explicitly marked as being of a domain type, either. * * Tuple descriptors that live in caches (relcache or typcache, at present) * are reference-counted: they can be deleted when their reference count goes * to zero. Tuple descriptors created by the executor need no reference * counting, however: they are simply created in the appropriate memory * context and go away when the context is freed. We set the tdrefcount * field of such a descriptor to -1, while reference-counted descriptors * always have tdrefcount >= 0. * * Beyond the compact_attrs variable length array, the TupleDesc stores an * array of FormData_pg_attribute. The TupleDescAttr() function, as defined * below, takes care of calculating the address of the elements of the * FormData_pg_attribute array. * * The array of CompactAttribute is effectively an abbreviated version of the * array of FormData_pg_attribute. Because CompactAttribute is significantly * smaller than FormData_pg_attribute, code, especially performance-critical * code, should prioritize using the fields from the CompactAttribute over the * equivalent fields in FormData_pg_attribute. * * Any code making changes manually to and fields in the FormData_pg_attribute * array must subsequently call populate_compact_attribute() to flush the * changes out to the corresponding 'compact_attrs' element. */ typedef struct TupleDescData { int natts; /* number of attributes in the tuple */ Oid tdtypeid; /* composite type ID for tuple type */ int32 tdtypmod; /* typmod for tuple type */ int tdrefcount; /* reference count, or -1 if not counting */ TupleConstr *constr; /* constraints, or NULL if none */ /* compact_attrs[N] is the compact metadata of Attribute Number N+1 */ CompactAttribute compact_attrs[FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER]; } TupleDescData; typedef struct TupleDescData *TupleDesc; extern void populate_compact_attribute(TupleDesc tupdesc, int attnum); /* * Calculates the base address of the Form_pg_attribute at the end of the * TupleDescData struct. */ #define TupleDescAttrAddress(desc) \ (Form_pg_attribute) ((char *) (desc) + \ (offsetof(struct TupleDescData, compact_attrs) + \ (desc)->natts * sizeof(CompactAttribute))) /* Accessor for the i'th FormData_pg_attribute element of tupdesc. */ static inline FormData_pg_attribute * TupleDescAttr(TupleDesc tupdesc, int i) { FormData_pg_attribute *attrs = TupleDescAttrAddress(tupdesc); return &attrs[i]; } #undef TupleDescAttrAddress extern void verify_compact_attribute(TupleDesc, int attnum); /* * Accessor for the i'th CompactAttribute element of tupdesc. */ static inline CompactAttribute * TupleDescCompactAttr(TupleDesc tupdesc, int i) { CompactAttribute *cattr = &tupdesc->compact_attrs[i]; #ifdef USE_ASSERT_CHECKING /* Check that the CompactAttribute is correctly populated */ verify_compact_attribute(tupdesc, i); #endif return cattr; } extern TupleDesc CreateTemplateTupleDesc(int natts); extern TupleDesc CreateTupleDesc(int natts, Form_pg_attribute *attrs); extern TupleDesc CreateTupleDescCopy(TupleDesc tupdesc); extern TupleDesc CreateTupleDescTruncatedCopy(TupleDesc tupdesc, int natts); extern TupleDesc CreateTupleDescCopyConstr(TupleDesc tupdesc); #define TupleDescSize(src) \ (offsetof(struct TupleDescData, compact_attrs) + \ (src)->natts * sizeof(CompactAttribute) + \ (src)->natts * sizeof(FormData_pg_attribute)) extern void TupleDescCopy(TupleDesc dst, TupleDesc src); extern void TupleDescCopyEntry(TupleDesc dst, AttrNumber dstAttno, TupleDesc src, AttrNumber srcAttno); extern void FreeTupleDesc(TupleDesc tupdesc); extern void IncrTupleDescRefCount(TupleDesc tupdesc); extern void DecrTupleDescRefCount(TupleDesc tupdesc); #define PinTupleDesc(tupdesc) \ do { \ if ((tupdesc)->tdrefcount >= 0) \ IncrTupleDescRefCount(tupdesc); \ } while (0) #define ReleaseTupleDesc(tupdesc) \ do { \ if ((tupdesc)->tdrefcount >= 0) \ DecrTupleDescRefCount(tupdesc); \ } while (0) extern bool equalTupleDescs(TupleDesc tupdesc1, TupleDesc tupdesc2); extern bool equalRowTypes(TupleDesc tupdesc1, TupleDesc tupdesc2); extern uint32 hashRowType(TupleDesc desc); extern void TupleDescInitEntry(TupleDesc desc, AttrNumber attributeNumber, const char *attributeName, Oid oidtypeid, int32 typmod, int attdim); extern void TupleDescInitBuiltinEntry(TupleDesc desc, AttrNumber attributeNumber, const char *attributeName, Oid oidtypeid, int32 typmod, int attdim); extern void TupleDescInitEntryCollation(TupleDesc desc, AttrNumber attributeNumber, Oid collationid); extern TupleDesc BuildDescFromLists(const List *names, const List *types, const List *typmods, const List *collations); extern Node *TupleDescGetDefault(TupleDesc tupdesc, AttrNumber attnum); #endif /* TUPDESC_H */
