引言
【功能】
- Oracle的return pipelined管道函数可以使一次返回的集合类型，变为 逐条返回pipe row(集合中的一条)给SQL层，大大减少内存的使用。
- Postgresql的return setof函数并不能起到降低内存使用的效果，return next 单条数据只起到了缓存的效果，并不会把数据逐条返回SQL层处理，没有降低内存的效果。
【代码】
- exec_stmt_return_next中的tupledesc从执行计划node中取出，返回值需要满足desc要求，缓存值也会按该desc保存。
- return next对rec类型和row类型处理的区别
- rec类型本质上就是tuple，数据和desc都以扩展形式存放在erh中。如果需要转换为tuple，有几个标准函数提供转换功能，且支持类型转换。【转换后调用tuplestore的标准接口缓存tuple】
- row类型本质上是一个虚拟行（由一组datum位置组成），row->varnos[i]指向某一个datum，如果想把row转换为tuple，需要用exec_eval_datum算出varnos指向的datum的值，然后组装成values和nulls数组，用heap_form_tuple构造。注意这种转换过程不会有类型转换，如果需要的desc和算出来的列类型对不上，返回空。成功【转换后调用tuplestore的标准接口缓存tuple】
- return next对var类型的处理：var看做单列tuple，按执行计划给的desc转换类型后构造tuple。【转换后调用tuplestore的标准接口缓存tuple】
【实用函数】
- 通用
- 类型转换：exec_cast_value（传入的值不能是eoh真实的头，使用前需要转成eoh存的1be头，1be指向真实头）
- 数组拼接minimaltuple：heap_form_minimal_tuple
- 有一个tuple和desc转换为另一个desc的tuple：convert_tuples_by_position、execute_attr_map_tuple
- tuplestore：
- 用values数组存tuple（用tuplestore_puttuple_common拼好后传tuple）：tuplestore_putvalues
- 用HeapTuple存tuple（直接传tuple）：tuplestore_puttuple
- 类型
- 根据类型id和mod找出desc：lookup_rowtype_tupdesc
- erh
- 从erh扩展类型拿到紧凑tuple：expanded_record_get_tuple
1 ：管道函数是什么，应用于什么场景
oracle支持pipelined函数，可以在函数定义时指定RETURN 集合类型 PIPELINED 来说明当前函数是管道函数。
管道函数最大的作用就是可以使一次返回的集合类型，变为 逐条返回，大大减少内存的使用。
例如：嵌套表类型outrecset是函数f_trans的返回值，普通函数只能组装好嵌套表outrecset（全部缓存在内存），一次性返回。如果嵌套表内容较多，可能会占用较大的内存空间。
如果使用管道函数，可以通过pipe row(嵌套表中的一行)来代替return语句，函数把嵌套表逐行返回给上层处理，无需缓存，降低内存使用。
ORACLE实例：
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE refcur_pkg AUTHID DEFINER IS
TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN employees%ROWTYPE;
TYPE outrec_typ IS RECORD (
var_num NUMBER(6),
var_char1 VARCHAR2(30),
var_char2 VARCHAR2(30)
);
TYPE outrecset IS TABLE OF outrec_typ;
FUNCTION f_trans (p refcur_t) RETURN outrecset PIPELINED;
END refcur_pkg;
/
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY refcur_pkg IS
FUNCTION f_trans (p refcur_t) RETURN outrecset PIPELINED IS
out_rec outrec_typ;
in_rec p%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH p INTO in_rec; -- input row
EXIT WHEN p%NOTFOUND;
out_rec.var_num := in_rec.employee_id;
out_rec.var_char1 := in_rec.first_name;
out_rec.var_char2 := in_rec.last_name;
PIPE ROW(out_rec); -- first transformed output row
out_rec.var_char1 := in_rec.email;
out_rec.var_char2 := in_rec.phone_number;
PIPE ROW(out_rec); -- second transformed output row
END LOOP;
CLOSE p;
RETURN;
END f_trans;
END refcur_pkg;
/
SELECT * FROM TABLE (
refcur_pkg.f_trans (
CURSOR (SELECT * FROM employees WHERE department_id = 60)
)
);在PG中，普通的return语句也是需要一次性返回数据，但PG应该是参考ORACLE实现了return next的功能，也希望逐条返回数据（PG没有集合类型，已普通类型为例）：
drop function f1;
create or replace function f1(in i int, out j int) returns setof int as $$
begin
j := i+1;
return next;
j := i+2;
return next;
return;
end$$ language plpgsql;
select * from f1(42);
j
----

44但在内核实现中，并不是逐条返回的，return next其实只起到了缓存数据的功能，总的数据集也是一次性返回SQL层的，和直接return没有区别（只有语法上的区别）。
所以PG的return setof函数并不能起到降低内存使用的效果。下面来分析具体过程。
2 return next实现
return next目前支持三类数据的返回，var、rec、rows return next也可以不加参数，返回值按out参数列表拼接
具体处理函数：exec_stmt_return_next
static int
exec_stmt_return_next(PLpgSQL_execstate *estate,
PLpgSQL_stmt_return_next *stmt)
{
TupleDesc tupdesc;
int natts;
HeapTuple tuple;
MemoryContext oldcontext;1 初始化tuple store
初始化总结：
1 初始化的过程就是在构造Tuplestorestate，主要动作：
- 给Tuplestorestate新的内存上下文ExecutorState
- 记录不能随机访问：eflags = EXEC_FLAG_REWIND
- 记录三个操作函数：copytup_heap、writetup_heap、readtup_heap
2 给estate->tuple_store_desc添加desc，desc来源：
- 从执行计划节点中node（Tuplestorestate）拿到后，传入ExecMakeTableFunctionResult
- ExecMakeTableFunctionResult组装ReturnSetInfo挂到fcinfo->resultinfo上
- plpgsql_exec_function时从fcinfo中拿出ReturnSetInfo取到desc
- plpgsql_estate_setup将取到的desc存入estate->rsi = rsi

if (estate->tuple_store == NULL)

natts = tupdesc->natts;
if (stmt->retvarno >= 0)
{

}后面根据返回值的不同，进入几个分支。
在进入前，desc已经获取到了： tupdesc = estate->tuple_store_desc; natts = tupdesc->natts;
场景一：return next返回var类型
case PLPGSQL_DTYPE_VAR:
{
PLpgSQL_var *var = (PLpgSQL_var *) retvar;
Datum retval = var->value;
bool isNull = var->isnull;
Form_pg_attribute attr = TupleDescAttr(tupdesc, 0);

}
break;执行tuplestore_putvalues保存元组
void
tuplestore_putvalues(Tuplestorestate *state, TupleDesc tdesc,
Datum *values, bool *isnull)
{
MinimalTuple tuple;
MemoryContext oldcxt = MemoryContextSwitchTo(state->context);
tuple = heap_form_minimal_tuple(tdesc, values, isnull);

}
static void
tuplestore_puttuple_common(Tuplestorestate *state, void *tuple)
{
TSReadPointer *readptr;
int i;
ResourceOwner oldowner;
state->tuples++;
switch (state->status)
{内存态直接用数组缓存tuple，tuple使用的内存是在外层函数切换上下文申请的。
case TSS_INMEM:
readptr = state->readptrs;
for (i = 0; i < state->readptrcount; readptr++, i++)
{
if (readptr->eof_reached && i != state->activeptr)
{

CurrentResourceOwner = oldowner;
state->backward = (state->eflags & EXEC_FLAG_BACKWARD) != 0;
state->status = TSS_WRITEFILE;

break;
...场景二：return next返回record类型
case PLPGSQL_DTYPE_REC:
{
PLpgSQL_rec *rec = (PLpgSQL_rec *) retvar;
TupleDesc rec_tupdesc;
TupleConversionMap *tupmap;拿到record：
{dtype = PLPGSQL_DTYPE_REC, dno = 1, refname = 0x24db608 "r", lineno = 3, isconst = false, notnull = false, default_val = 0x0, datatype = {typname='foo'}, rectypeid = 17117, firstfield = -1, erh = 0x2509708}
- 数据和desc都在erh中，列名在firstfield指向的位置。
- 数据类型在datatype中：foo
- 数据类型oid在rectypeid中：17117->foo
if (rec->erh == NULL)
instantiate_empty_record_variable(estate, rec);

tuple = execute_attr_map_tuple(tuple, tupmap);
// 缓存元组
tuplestore_puttuple(estate->tuple_store, tuple);
MemoryContextSwitchTo(oldcontext);
}
break;场景三：return next返回row类型
必须是两列以上的out参数，直接return next空，才会使用这段逻辑。
case PLPGSQL_DTYPE_ROW:
{
PLpgSQL_row *row = (PLpgSQL_row *) retvar;
oldcontext = MemoryContextSwitchTo(get_eval_mcontext(estate));
// 必须严格匹配tupdesc的类型，对不上则转换失败
tuple = make_tuple_from_row(estate, row, tupdesc);
if (tuple == NULL)
ereport(ERROR,...)
tuplestore_puttuple(estate->tuple_store, tuple);
MemoryContextSwitchTo(oldcontext);
}
break;
default:
elog(ERROR, "unrecognized dtype: %d", retvar->dtype);
break;
}
