Synopsis

Description
SPI_cursor_open_with_args
sets up a cursor (internally, a portal) that will execute the specified query. Most of the parameters have the same meanings as the corresponding parameters toSPI_prepare_cursor
andSPI_cursor_open
.
For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred overSPI_prepare_cursor
followed bySPI_cursor_open
. 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 passed-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor's portal, so it can be freed while the cursor still exists.
