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 (but
           this field is ignored unless the SPI_OPT_NONATOMIC flag was passed
           to SPI_connect_ext)

       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
           DestReceiver object that will receive any tuples emitted by the
           query; if NULL, result tuples are accumulated into a SPI_tuptable
           structure, as in SPI_execute

       ResourceOwner owner
           This field is present for consistency with
           SPI_execute_plan_extended, but it is ignored, since the plan used
           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.
