SPI_CURSOR_PARSE_OPEN(3) PostgreSQL 17.5 DocumentationSPI_CURSOR_PARSE_OPEN(3)

NAME
       SPI_cursor_parse_open - set up a	cursor using a query string and
       parameters

SYNOPSIS
       Portal SPI_cursor_parse_open(const char *name,
				    const char *command,
				    const SPIParseOpenOptions *	options)

DESCRIPTION
       SPI_cursor_parse_open sets up a cursor (internally, a portal) that will
       execute the specified query string. This	is comparable to
       SPI_prepare_cursor followed by SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist, except
       that parameter references within	the query string are handled entirely
       by supplying a ParamListInfo object.

       For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred over
       SPI_prepare_cursor followed by SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist. If the
       same command is to be executed with many	different parameters, either
       method might be faster, depending on the	cost of	re-planning versus the
       benefit of custom plans.

       The options->params object should normally mark each parameter with the
       PARAM_FLAG_CONST	flag, since a one-shot plan is always used for the
       query.

       The passed-in parameter data will be copied into	the cursor's portal,
       so it can be freed while	the cursor still exists.

ARGUMENTS
       const char * name
	   name	for portal, or NULL to let the system select a name

       const char * command
	   command string

       const SPIParseOpenOptions * options
	   struct containing optional arguments

       Callers should always zero out the entire options struct, then fill
       whichever fields	they want to set. This ensures forward compatibility
       of code,	since any fields that are added	to the struct in future	will
       be defined to behave backwards-compatibly if they are zero. The
       currently available options fields are:

       ParamListInfo params
	   data	structure containing query parameter types and values; NULL if
	   none

       int cursorOptions
	   integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior

       bool read_only
	   true	for read-only execution

RETURN VALUE
       Pointer to portal containing the	cursor.	Note there is no error return
       convention; any error will be reported via elog.
