+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBSPI_cursor_open_with_args\fR
+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 to
+\fBSPI_prepare_cursor\fR
+and
+\fBSPI_cursor_open\fR\&.
+.PP
+For one\-time query execution, this function should be preferred over
+\fBSPI_prepare_cursor\fR
+followed by
+\fBSPI_cursor_open\fR\&. 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\&.
+.PP
+The passed\-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor\*(Aqs portal, so it can be freed while the cursor still exists\&.
+.PP
+This function is now deprecated in favor of
+\fBSPI_cursor_parse_open\fR, which provides equivalent functionality using a more modern API for handling query parameters\&.
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.PP
+const char * \fIname\fR
+.RS 4
+name for portal, or
+NULL
+to let the system select a name
+.RE
+.PP
+const char * \fIcommand\fR
+.RS 4
+command string
+.RE
+.PP
+int \fInargs\fR
+.RS 4
+number of input parameters ($1,
+$2, etc\&.)
+.RE
+.PP
+Oid * \fIargtypes\fR
+.RS 4
+an array of length
+\fInargs\fR, containing the
+OIDs of the data types of the parameters
+.RE
+.PP
+Datum * \fIvalues\fR
+.RS 4
+an array of length
+\fInargs\fR, containing the actual parameter values
+.RE
+.PP
+const char * \fInulls\fR
+.RS 4
+an array of length
+\fInargs\fR, describing which parameters are null
+.sp
+If
+\fInulls\fR
+is
+NULL
+then
+\fBSPI_cursor_open_with_args\fR
+assumes that no parameters are null\&. Otherwise, each entry of the
+\fInulls\fR
+array should be
+\*(Aq\ \&\*(Aq
+if the corresponding parameter value is non\-null, or
+\*(Aqn\*(Aq
+if the corresponding parameter value is null\&. (In the latter case, the actual value in the corresponding
+\fIvalues\fR
+entry doesn\*(Aqt matter\&.) Note that
+\fInulls\fR
+is not a text string, just an array: it does not need a
+\*(Aq\e0\*(Aq
+terminator\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+bool \fIread_only\fR
+.RS 4
+true
+for read\-only execution
+.RE
+.PP
+int \fIcursorOptions\fR
+.RS 4
+integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior
+.RE
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+Pointer to portal containing the cursor\&. Note there is no error return convention; any error will be reported via
+\fBelog\fR\&.
