You could probably get away with copying it into some long-term memory context. Once you've blessed it the record typmod should remain the same for the rest of the session. If you're feeling bloody-minded you could remember the pointer returned by lookup_rowtype_tupdesc(), but that strikes me as assuming too much about the behavior of typcache.c. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
