This patch provides a test case for libpq's row processor API. contrib/dblink can deal with very large result sets by dumping them into a tuplestore (which can spill to disk) --- but until now, the intermediate storage of the query result in a PGresult meant memory bloat for any large result. Now we use a row processor to convert the data to tuple form and dump it directly into the tuplestore. A limitation is that this only works for plain dblink() queries, not dblink_send_query() followed by dblink_get_result(). In the latter case we don't know the desired tuple rowtype soon enough. While hack solutions to that are possible, a different user-level API would probably be a better answer. Kyotaro Horiguchi, reviewed by Marko Kreen and Tom Lane
PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
