6 SPI_cursor_parse_open - set up a cursor using a query string and
7 parameters
8
10 Portal SPI_cursor_parse_open(const char *name,
11 const char *command,
12 const SPIParseOpenOptions * options)
13
15 SPI_cursor_parse_open sets up a cursor (internally, a portal) that will
16 execute the specified query string. This is comparable to
17 SPI_prepare_cursor followed by SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist, except
18 that parameter references within the query string are handled entirely
19 by supplying a ParamListInfo object.
20
21 For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred over
22 SPI_prepare_cursor followed by SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist. If the
23 same command is to be executed with many different parameters, either
24 method might be faster, depending on the cost of re-planning versus the
25 benefit of custom plans.
26
27 The options->params object should normally mark each parameter with the
28 PARAM_FLAG_CONST flag, since a one-shot plan is always used for the
29 query.
30
31 The passed-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor's portal,
32 so it can be freed while the cursor still exists.
33
35 const char * name
36 name for portal, or NULL to let the system select a name
37
38 const char * command
39 command string
40
41 const SPIParseOpenOptions * options
42 struct containing optional arguments
43
44 Callers should always zero out the entire options struct, then fill
45 whichever fields they want to set. This ensures forward compatibility
46 of code, since any fields that are added to the struct in future will
47 be defined to behave backwards-compatibly if they are zero. The
48 currently available options fields are:
49
50 ParamListInfo params
51 data structure containing query parameter types and values; NULL if
52 none
53
54 int cursorOptions
55 integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior
56
57 bool read_only
58 true for read-only execution
59
61 Pointer to portal containing the cursor. Note there is no error return
62 convention; any error will be reported via elog.
