SPI_execute_plan_extended
SPI_execute_plan_extended — execute a statement prepared bySPI_prepare
Synopsis
int SPI_execute_plan_extended(SPIPlanPtrplan, const SPIExecuteOptions *options)
Description
SPI_execute_plan_extended executes a statement prepared bySPI_prepare or one of its siblings. This function is equivalent toSPI_execute_plan, except that information about the parameter values to be passed to the query is presented differently, and additional execution-controlling options can be passed.
Query parameter values are represented by aParamListInfo struct, which is convenient for passing down values that are already available in that format. Dynamic parameter sets can also be used, via hook functions specified inParamListInfo.
Also, instead of always accumulating the result tuples into aSPI_tuptable structure, tuples can be passed to a caller-suppliedDestReceiver object as they are generated by the executor. This 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
SPIPlanPtrplanprepared statement (returned by
SPI_prepare)const SPIExecuteOptions *optionsstruct containing optional arguments
Callers should always zero out the entireoptions 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 availableoptions fields are:
ParamListInfoparamsdata structure containing query parameter types and values; NULL if none

If NULL, CurrentResourceOwner is used. Ignored for non-saved plans, as SPI does not acquire reference counts on those.
Return Value
The return value is the same as forSPI_execute_plan.
Whenoptions->dest is NULL,SPI_processed andSPI_tuptable are set as inSPI_execute_plan. Whenoptions->dest is not NULL,SPI_processed is set to zero andSPI_tuptable is set to NULL. If a tuple count is required, the caller'sDestReceiver object must calculate it.
