I'm describing view using the following SPI function. 

All is fine except "attrelid" is everywhere set to 0. What I'm doing wrong ?
How can I get table oid and column id for every column in SQL result ?


PG_FUNCTION_INFO_V1(check_view);
Datum
check_view(PG_FUNCTION_ARGS)
{	
	int spiRet=0;
	PQExpBuffer queryBuff = createPQExpBuffer();
   	char *schemaName = GET_STR(PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(0));
   	char *viewName = GET_STR(PG_GETARG_TEXT_P(1));
	int ret = -1;

	if (schemaName == NULL)
		elog(ERROR, "schemaName not set");

	if (viewName == NULL)
		elog(ERROR, "viewName not set");

	if ((spiRet = SPI_connect()) < 0)
		elog(ERROR, "rlog: SPI_connect returned %d", spiRet);

	printfPQExpBuffer(queryBuff, 	
		"SELECT definition" 
		"	FROM pg_views WHERE schemaname='%s' "
		"	AND viewname ='%s';",schemaName,viewName
	);

	ret = SPI_exec(queryBuff->data,1);
	//elog(NOTICE, "%s",queryBuff->data);


	if (ret == SPI_OK_SELECT){
		if ( SPI_processed > 0 ){
			TupleDesc tupdesc = SPI_tuptable->tupdesc;
				printfPQExpBuffer(
					queryBuff,
					"%s",
					SPI_getvalue(SPI_tuptable->vals[0],tupdesc,1) 
				);
		}else{
	    	elog(ERROR, "Unexisting view %s.%s", schemaName,viewName );
		}
	}else{
	    elog(ERROR, "Error executing %s", queryBuff->data );
	}

    //elog(NOTICE, "%s", queryBuff->data );
	ret = SPI_exec(queryBuff->data,1);
	if (ret < 0){
	    elog(ERROR, "Error executing %s", queryBuff->data );
	}else{
		int i=0;
		TupleDesc tupdesc = SPI_tuptable->tupdesc;

		elog(NOTICE,"************************************");
		elog(NOTICE,"View %s.%s - column count:%
i",schemaName,viewName,tupdesc->natts);
		for (i=0; i < tupdesc->natts; i++){
			elog(NOTICE,"	colname %s", tupdesc->attrs[i]->attname.data);
			elog(NOTICE,"-----------------");

		}
	}
	PG_RETURN_BOOL(true);
}


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_view (text,text) RETURNS bool
  AS '/usr/local/pgsql/lib/libplpq.so','check_view' LANGUAGE 'c'
  WITH (isstrict);

SELECT check_view('pg_catalog','pg_tables');


Here is the result (not that attrelid is 0 for all cols):
