+.PP
+\fBSPI_commit\fR
+commits the current transaction\&. It is approximately equivalent to running the SQL command
+\fBCOMMIT\fR\&. After the transaction is committed, a new transaction is automatically started using default transaction characteristics, so that the caller can continue using SPI facilities\&. If there is a failure during commit, the current transaction is instead rolled back and a new transaction is started, after which the error is thrown in the usual way\&.
+.PP
+\fBSPI_commit_and_chain\fR
+is the same, but the new transaction is started with the same transaction characteristics as the just finished one, like with the SQL command
+\fBCOMMIT AND CHAIN\fR\&.
+.PP
+These functions can only be executed if the SPI connection has been set as nonatomic in the call to
+\fBSPI_connect_ext\fR\&.

+\fBSPI_cursor_open\fR
+sets up a cursor (internally, a portal) that will execute a statement prepared by
+\fBSPI_prepare\fR\&. The parameters have the same meanings as the corresponding parameters to

+.PP
+Using a cursor instead of executing the statement directly has two benefits\&. First, the result rows can be retrieved a few at a time, avoiding memory overrun for queries that return many rows\&. Second, a portal can outlive the current C function (it can, in fact, live to the end of the current transaction)\&. Returning the portal name to the C function\*(Aqs caller provides a way of returning a row set as result\&.

+.PP
+\fBSPI_execute\fR
+executes the specified SQL command for
+\fIcount\fR
+rows\&. If
+\fIread_only\fR
+is
+true, the command must be read\-only, and execution overhead is somewhat reduced\&.
+.PP
+This function can only be called from a connected C function\&.
+.PP
+If
+\fIcount\fR
+is zero then the command is executed for all rows that it applies to\&. If
+\fIcount\fR
+is greater than zero, then no more than
+\fIcount\fR
+rows will be retrieved; execution stops when the count is reached, much like adding a
+LIMIT
+clause to the query\&. For example,
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+SPI_execute("SELECT * FROM foo", true, 5);
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+will retrieve at most 5 rows from the table\&. Note that such a limit is only effective when the command actually returns rows\&. For example,
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+SPI_execute("INSERT INTO foo SELECT * FROM bar", false, 5);
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+inserts all rows from
+bar, ignoring the
+\fIcount\fR
+parameter\&. However, with
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+SPI_execute("INSERT INTO foo SELECT * FROM bar RETURNING *", false, 5);
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+at most 5 rows would be inserted, since execution would stop after the fifth
+RETURNING
+result row is retrieved\&.
+.PP
+You can pass multiple commands in one string;
+\fBSPI_execute\fR
+returns the result for the command executed last\&. The
+\fIcount\fR
+limit applies to each command separately (even though only the last result will actually be returned)\&. The limit is not applied to any hidden commands generated by rules\&.
+.PP
+When
+\fIread_only\fR
+is
+false,
+\fBSPI_execute\fR
+increments the command counter and computes a new
+snapshot
+before executing each command in the string\&. The snapshot does not actually change if the current transaction isolation level is
+SERIALIZABLE
+or
+REPEATABLE READ, but in
+READ COMMITTED
+mode the snapshot update allows each command to see the results of newly committed transactions from other sessions\&. This is essential for consistent behavior when the commands are modifying the database\&.
+.PP
+When
+\fIread_only\fR
+is
+true,
+\fBSPI_execute\fR
+does not update either the snapshot or the command counter, and it allows only plain
+\fBSELECT\fR
+commands to appear in the command string\&. The commands are executed using the snapshot previously established for the surrounding query\&. This execution mode is somewhat faster than the read/write mode due to eliminating per\-command overhead\&. It also allows genuinely
+stable
+functions to be built: since successive executions will all use the same snapshot, there will be no change in the results\&.
+.PP
+It is generally unwise to mix read\-only and read\-write commands within a single function using SPI; that could result in very confusing behavior, since the read\-only queries would not see the results of any database updates done by the read\-write queries\&.
+.PP
+The actual number of rows for which the (last) command was executed is returned in the global variable
+\fISPI_processed\fR\&. If the return value of the function is

+.PP
+\fBSPI_prepare\fR
+creates and returns a prepared statement for the specified command, but doesn\*(Aqt execute the command\&. The prepared statement can later be executed repeatedly using

+.PP
+When the same or a similar command is to be executed repeatedly, it is generally advantageous to perform parse analysis only once, and might furthermore be advantageous to re\-use an execution plan for the command\&.
+\fBSPI_prepare\fR
+converts a command string into a prepared statement that encapsulates the results of parse analysis\&. The prepared statement also provides a place for caching an execution plan if it is found that generating a custom plan for each execution is not helpful\&.
+.PP
+A prepared command can be generalized by writing parameters ($1,
+$2, etc\&.) in place of what would be constants in a normal command\&. The actual values of the parameters are then specified when
+\fBSPI_execute_plan\fR
+is called\&. This allows the prepared command to be used over a wider range of situations than would be possible without parameters\&.
+.PP
+The statement returned by
+\fBSPI_prepare\fR
+can be used only in the current invocation of the C function, since
+\fBSPI_finish\fR
+frees memory allocated for such a statement\&. But the statement can be saved for longer using the functions
+\fBSPI_keepplan\fR

+\fBSPI_saveplan\fR\&.

+NULL, or if
+\fInargs\fR
+is less than 0, or if
+\fInargs\fR
+is greater than 0 and
+\fIargtypes\fR
+is
+NULL\&.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+If no parameters are defined, a generic plan will be created at the first use of
+\fBSPI_execute_plan\fR, and used for all subsequent executions as well\&. If there are parameters, the first few uses of
+\fBSPI_execute_plan\fR
+will generate custom plans that are specific to the supplied parameter values\&. After enough uses of the same prepared statement,
+\fBSPI_execute_plan\fR
+will build a generic plan, and if that is not too much more expensive than the custom plans, it will start using the generic plan instead of re\-planning each time\&. If this default behavior is unsuitable, you can alter it by passing the
+CURSOR_OPT_GENERIC_PLAN
+or
+CURSOR_OPT_CUSTOM_PLAN
+flag to
+\fBSPI_prepare_cursor\fR, to force use of generic or custom plans respectively\&.
+.PP
+Although the main point of a prepared statement is to avoid repeated parse analysis and planning of the statement,
+PostgreSQL
+will force re\-analysis and re\-planning of the statement before using it whenever database objects used in the statement have undergone definitional (DDL) changes since the previous use of the prepared statement\&. Also, if the value of
+search_path
+changes from one use to the next, the statement will be re\-parsed using the new
+\fIsearch_path\fR\&. (This latter behavior is new as of
+PostgreSQL
+9\&.3\&.) See
+\fBPREPARE\fR(7)
+for more information about the behavior of prepared statements\&.
+.PP
+This function should only be called from a connected C function\&.
+.PP
+SPIPlanPtr
+is declared as a pointer to an opaque struct type in
+spi\&.h\&. It is unwise to try to access its contents directly, as that makes your code much more likely to break in future revisions of
+PostgreSQL\&.
+.PP
+The name
+SPIPlanPtr
+is somewhat historical, since the data structure no longer necessarily contains an execution plan\&.

+\fBSPI_rollback\fR
+rolls back the current transaction\&. It is approximately equivalent to running the SQL command
+\fBROLLBACK\fR\&. After the transaction is rolled back, a new transaction is automatically started using default transaction characteristics, so that the caller can continue using SPI facilities\&.
+.PP
+\fBSPI_rollback_and_chain\fR
+is the same, but the new transaction is started with the same transaction characteristics as the just finished one, like with the SQL command
+\fBROLLBACK AND CHAIN\fR\&.
+.PP
+These functions can only be executed if the SPI connection has been set as nonatomic in the call to
+\fBSPI_connect_ext\fR\&.

+.SH "NAME"
+dblink \- executes a query in a remote database
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+dblink(text connname, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record
+dblink(text connstr, text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record
+dblink(text sql [, bool fail_on_error]) returns setof record
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBdblink\fR
+executes a query (usually a
+\fBSELECT\fR, but it can be any SQL statement that returns rows) in a remote database\&.
+.PP
+When two
+text
+arguments are given, the first one is first looked up as a persistent connection\*(Aqs name; if found, the command is executed on that connection\&. If not found, the first argument is treated as a connection info string as for
+\fBdblink_connect\fR, and the indicated connection is made just for the duration of this command\&.
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.PP
+\fIconnname\fR
+.RS 4
+Name of the connection to use; omit this parameter to use the unnamed connection\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIconnstr\fR
+.RS 4
+A connection info string, as previously described for
+\fBdblink_connect\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIsql\fR
+.RS 4
+The SQL query that you wish to execute in the remote database, for example
+select * from foo\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fIfail_on_error\fR
+.RS 4
+If true (the default when omitted) then an error thrown on the remote side of the connection causes an error to also be thrown locally\&. If false, the remote error is locally reported as a NOTICE, and the function returns no rows\&.
+.RE
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+The function returns the row(s) produced by the query\&. Since
+\fBdblink\fR
+can be used with any query, it is declared to return
+record, rather than specifying any particular set of columns\&. This means that you must specify the expected set of columns in the calling query \(em otherwise
+PostgreSQL
+would not know what to expect\&. Here is an example:
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+SELECT *
+ FROM dblink(\*(Aqdbname=mydb options=\-csearch_path=\*(Aq,
+ \*(Aqselect proname, prosrc from pg_proc\*(Aq)
+ AS t1(proname name, prosrc text)
+ WHERE proname LIKE \*(Aqbytea%\*(Aq;
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.sp
+The
+\(lqalias\(rq
+part of the
+FROM
+clause must specify the column names and types that the function will return\&. (Specifying column names in an alias is actually standard SQL syntax, but specifying column types is a
+PostgreSQL
+extension\&.) This allows the system to understand what
+*
+should expand to, and what
+proname
+in the
+WHERE
+clause refers to, in advance of trying to execute the function\&. At run time, an error will be thrown if the actual query result from the remote database does not have the same number of columns shown in the
+FROM
+clause\&. The column names need not match, however, and
+\fBdblink\fR
+does not insist on exact type matches either\&. It will succeed so long as the returned data strings are valid input for the column type declared in the
+FROM
+clause\&.
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+A convenient way to use
+\fBdblink\fR
+with predetermined queries is to create a view\&. This allows the column type information to be buried in the view, instead of having to spell it out in every query\&. For example,
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+CREATE VIEW myremote_pg_proc AS
+ SELECT *
+ FROM dblink(\*(Aqdbname=postgres options=\-csearch_path=\*(Aq,

+.PP
+\fBdblink_connect_u()\fR
+is identical to
+\fBdblink_connect()\fR, except that it will allow non\-superusers to connect using any authentication method\&.
+.PP
+If the remote server selects an authentication method that does not involve a password, then impersonation and subsequent escalation of privileges can occur, because the session will appear to have originated from the user as which the local
+PostgreSQL
+server runs\&. Also, even if the remote server does demand a password, it is possible for the password to be supplied from the server environment, such as a
+~/\&.pgpass
+file belonging to the server\*(Aqs user\&. This opens not only a risk of impersonation, but the possibility of exposing a password to an untrustworthy remote server\&. Therefore,
+\fBdblink_connect_u()\fR
+is initially installed with all privileges revoked from
+PUBLIC, making it un\-callable except by superusers\&. In some situations it may be appropriate to grant
+EXECUTE
+permission for
+\fBdblink_connect_u()\fR
+to specific users who are considered trustworthy, but this should be done with care\&. It is also recommended that any
+~/\&.pgpass
+file belonging to the server\*(Aqs user
+\fInot\fR
+contain any records specifying a wildcard host name\&.

+.PP
+This function
+\fImust\fR
+be called if
+\fBdblink_send_query\fR
+returned 1\&. It must be called once for each query sent, and one additional time to obtain an empty set result, before the connection can be used again\&.
+.PP
+When using
+\fBdblink_send_query\fR
+and
+\fBdblink_get_result\fR,
+dblink
+fetches the entire remote query result before returning any of it to the local query processor\&. If the query returns a large number of rows, this can result in transient memory bloat in the local session\&. It may be better to open such a query as a cursor with
+\fBdblink_open\fR
+and then fetch a manageable number of rows at a time\&. Alternatively, use plain
+\fBdblink()\fR, which avoids memory bloat by spooling large result sets to disk\&.
