CREATE TEMP TABLE AS SELECT/ GET DIAGNOSTICS ROW_COUNT again

This change relates only to SPI, meaning plpsql. It does not help libpq.

Hello!

According to Tom's message
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-06/msg00476.php
we have the stuff supposed to return number of rows affected by
CREATE .. AS SELECT or SELECT ... INTO in 8.1 beta.

The patch is at place, though PQcmdTuples returns nothing. It's not
a big surprise considering PQcmdTuples likes INSERT, DELETE, FETCH
or MOVE only. The real pain is cmdStatus does not contain number
of affected rows.

Any suggestions? Is it possible to calculate number of rows
in newly created table without explicit SELECT COUNT(*)?
I don't use PL/pgSQL.

Thanks a lot.

Hi!

Thanks for response.

I see.

Any hope it would be possible
to calculate number of rows inserted
in newly created table via
CREATE .. AS SELECT?
