Hi everybody,
I am new PostgreSQL c function programmer. I'm trying to move ahead
a new "PostgreSQL routing library" (http://www.pgroute.org [for now, the
page in only in spanish]).
The point:
There is some way to keep objects in [persisten] memory and then refer
to these from c functions?. In the current version of pgRoute, each
transaction load the graph in memory (using MemoryContext), this isn't a
enterprise solution for routing program. Why I Wish is using a c
function to load the graph in memory [persistent], something like:
SELECT pgr_load_graph('my SQL graph sentence', 'graph name');
example: SELECT pgr_load_graph('SELECT id, source, target,
cost1,cost2,costn,... FROM edge_table WHERE ...','My graph');
would also have a function to unload or delete.
and then, use other function to calculating the shortest path, something
like:
SELECT pgr_get_shortest_path('from','to','cost
column','algorithm','graph name');
example: SELECT
pgr_get_shortest_path(6000,5142,'cost1','dijkstra','My graph');
researching in the PostgreSQL source code I found
"postgresql-8.4.0/src/backend/utils/mmgr/README.TXT", and I think the
indicated MemoryContext that I need to solved my problem is
"TopMemoryContext", but I don't found examples of how can I used it.
I need some guidelines, or way to resolved this. Is posible to put
persisten object in memory through postgresql c funtion?, or my idea is
a crazy idea?
Thanks a lot for your time and answers, ahhh! and for my English writing.
