/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * dest.h * support for communication destinations * * Whenever the backend executes a query that returns tuples, the results * have to go someplace. For example: * * - stdout is the destination only when we are running a * standalone backend (no postmaster) and are returning results * back to an interactive user. * * - a remote process is the destination when we are * running a backend with a frontend and the frontend executes * PQexec() or PQfn(). In this case, the results are sent * to the frontend via the functions in backend/libpq. * * - DestNone is the destination when the system executes * a query internally. The results are discarded. * * dest.c defines three functions that implement destination management: * * BeginCommand: initialize the destination at start of command. * CreateDestReceiver: return a pointer to a struct of destination-specific * receiver functions. * EndCommand: clean up the destination at end of command. * * BeginCommand/EndCommand are executed once per received SQL query. * * CreateDestReceiver returns a receiver object appropriate to the specified * destination. The executor, as well as utility statements that can return * tuples, are passed the resulting DestReceiver* pointer. Each executor run * or utility execution calls the receiver's rStartup method, then the * receiveSlot method (zero or more times), then the rShutdown method. * The same receiver object may be re-used multiple times; eventually it is * destroyed by calling its rDestroy method. * * In some cases, receiver objects require additional parameters that must * be passed to them after calling CreateDestReceiver. Since the set of * parameters varies for different receiver types, this is not handled by * this module, but by direct calls from the calling code to receiver type * specific functions. * * The DestReceiver object returned by CreateDestReceiver may be a statically * allocated object (for destination types that require no local state), * in which case rDestroy is a no-op. Alternatively it can be a palloc'd * object that has DestReceiver as its first field and contains additional * fields (see printtup.c for an example). These additional fields are then * accessible to the DestReceiver functions by casting the DestReceiver* * pointer passed to them. The palloc'd object is pfree'd by the rDestroy * method. Note that the caller of CreateDestReceiver should take care to * do so in a memory context that is long-lived enough for the receiver * object not to disappear while still needed. * * Special provision: None_Receiver is a permanently available receiver * object for the DestNone destination. This avoids useless creation/destroy * calls in portal and cursor manipulations. * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2021, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * src/include/tcop/dest.h * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #ifndef DEST_H #define DEST_H #include "executor/tuptable.h" #include "tcop/cmdtag.h" /* buffer size to use for command completion tags */ #define COMPLETION_TAG_BUFSIZE 64 /* ---------------- * CommandDest is a simplistic means of identifying the desired * destination.
