SPI_EXECUTE_EXTENDED(3) PostgreSQL 15.4 Documentation SPI_EXECUTE_EXTENDED(3)
NAME
SPI_execute_extended - execute a command with out-of-line parameters
SYNOPSIS
int SPI_execute_extended(const char *command,
const SPIExecuteOptions * options)
DESCRIPTION
SPI_execute_extended executes a command that might include references
to externally supplied parameters. The command text refers to a
parameter as $n, and the options->params object (if supplied) provides
values and type information for each such symbol. Various execution
options can be specified in the options struct, too.
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.
If options->dest is not NULL, then result tuples are passed to that
object as they are generated by the executor, instead of being
accumulated in SPI_tuptable. Using a caller-supplied DestReceiver
object is particularly helpful for queries that might generate many
tuples, since the data can be processed on-the-fly instead of being
accumulated in memory.
ARGUMENTS
const char * command
command string
const SPIExecuteOptions * 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
bool read_only
true for read-only execution
bool allow_nonatomic
true allows non-atomic execution of CALL and DO statements
bool must_return_tuples
if true, raise error if the query is not of a kind that returns
tuples (this does not forbid the case where it happens to return
zero tuples)
uint64 tcount
maximum number of rows to return, or 0 for no limit
DestReceiver * dest
by SPI_execute_extended is never saved.
RETURN VALUE
The return value is the same as for SPI_execute.
When options->dest is NULL, SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable are set as
in SPI_execute. When options->dest is not NULL, SPI_processed is set to
zero and SPI_tuptable is set to NULL. If a tuple count is required, the
caller's DestReceiver object must calculate it.
