Scanning in PostgreSQL
Scanning defined in: backend/access/heap/heapam.c
Implements iterator data/operations:
-
HeapScanDesc ... struct containing iteration state
-
scan = heap_beginscan(rel,...,nkeys,keys)
(uses initscan() to do half the work (shared with rescan))
-
tup = heap_getnext(scan, direction)
(uses heapgettup() to do most of the work)
-
heap_endscan(scan) ... frees up scan struct
-
HeapKeyTest() ... implements key match test
