.SH "NAME"
SPI_fnumber \- determine the column number for the specified column name
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
int SPI_fnumber(TupleDesc \fIrowdesc\fR, const char * \fIcolname\fR)
.fi
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSPI_fnumber\fR
returns the column number for the column with the specified name\&.
.PP
If
\fIcolname\fR
refers to a system column (e\&.g\&.,
ctid) then the appropriate negative column number will be returned\&. The caller should be careful to test the return value for exact equality to
SPI_ERROR_NOATTRIBUTE
to detect an error; testing the result for less than or equal to 0 is not correct unless system columns should be rejected\&.

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

Column number (count starts at 1 for user\-defined columns), or
SPI_ERROR_NOATTRIBUTE
if the named column was not found\&.
