💅 SPI_FNAME(3) 💅

Okay bestie, we're in the PostgreSQL 15.19 Documentation, and this page is literally about SPI_fname — the function that determines the column name for the specified column number. Slay. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SPI_fname — determine the column name for the specified column number, fr fr. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

char * SPI_fname(TupleDesc rowdesc, int colnumber)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so SPI_fname returns a copy of the column name of the specified column. It's giving "hand me the column number, I'll hand you the name." 👑

And yes, you can use pfree to release the copy of the name when you don't need it anymore. Don't forget, bestie — free your copy, keep your peace. 🫶

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

• TupleDesc rowdesc — input row description, the row-desc bestie you're passing in. 🌈
• int colnumber — column number (count starts at 1, so the first column is 1, iykyk). ✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

The column name; NULL if colnumber is out of range. SPI_result set to SPI_ERROR_NOATTRIBUTE on error. That's the whole vibe check. 💀
