Mph. The example *used* to be right, but is not as of 7.2, because
count() now returns int8 which is pass-by-reference. Your proposed
fix isn't quite right either (you'd have noticed the difference between
*int and *int8 on a big-endian machine ;-)). Probably we should change
the example to read
i = (int) DatumGetInt64(SPI_getbinval(...));
Alternatively the example query could be changed to
ret = SPI_exec("select count(*)::int4 from ttest", 0);
so as to avoid the backend version dependency. Comments anyone?
regards, tom lane
