SPI_prepare_cursor

SPI_prepare_cursor — prepare a statement, without executing it yet

Synopsis

SPIPlanPtr SPI_prepare_cursor(const char * command, int nargs,
                              Oid * argtypes, int cursorOptions)

Description

SPI_prepare_cursor is identical to SPI_prepare, except that it also allows specification of the planner’s “[.quote]#cursor options”# parameter. This is a bit mask having the values shown in nodes/parsenodes.h for the options field of DeclareCursorStmt. SPI_prepare always takes the cursor options as zero.

Arguments

`const char * +`_`+command`_: command string
`int +`_`+nargs`_: number of input parameters ($1, $2, etc.)
`Oid * +`_`+argtypes`_: pointer to an array containing the OIDs of the data types of the parameters
`int +`_`+cursorOptions`_: integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior

Return Value

SPI_prepare_cursor has the same return conventions as SPI_prepare.

Notes

Useful bits to set in `cursorOptions include `CURSOR_OPT_SCROLL, CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL, CURSOR_OPT_FAST_PLAN, CURSOR_OPT_GENERIC_PLAN, and CURSOR_OPT_CUSTOM_PLAN. Note in particular that CURSOR_OPT_HOLD is ignored.
