execute table query in backend
Hi,
I am trying to extend the server backend by writing a new module.
Basically, it tries to retrieve tuples from a specific table using some
predefined qualifications (equivalent to "SELECT FROM WHERE" client sql
statement ).
Is there any quick or efficient way to do this?
Many thanks :)

Assuming you're trying to write a server extension (and NOT a client
application), this is where you can start:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/server-programming.html
Specifically, an interface called "server programming interface"
(chapter 44 on the above page) can be used to issue SQLs from a server
extension module. Read more about it here (documentation also includes
few examples to get started with):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/spi.html

Thank you for you suggestion.
I actually took a look at SPI_ functions before. However, I believe using
this will bring quite an overhead.
I am trying to modify the Sequence scan node such that: each time the scan
returns a tuple,
we'll take some information from this tuple. And finally issue another scan
operation on a different table based on these information
