+.SH "NAME"
+SPI_execute_extended \- execute a command with out\-of\-line parameters
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+int SPI_execute_extended(const char *\fIcommand\fR,
+ const SPIExecuteOptions * \fIoptions\fR)
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBSPI_execute_extended\fR
+executes a command that might include references to externally supplied parameters\&. The command text refers to a parameter as
+$\fIn\fR, and the
+\fIoptions\->params\fR
+object (if supplied) provides values and type information for each such symbol\&. Various execution options can be specified in the
+\fIoptions\fR
+struct, too\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fIoptions\->params\fR
+object should normally mark each parameter with the
+PARAM_FLAG_CONST
+flag, since a one\-shot plan is always used for the query\&.
+.PP
+If
+\fIoptions\->dest\fR
+is not NULL, then result tuples are passed to that object as they are generated by the executor, instead of being accumulated in
+\fISPI_tuptable\fR\&. Using a caller\-supplied
+DestReceiver
+object 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\&.
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.PP
+const char * \fIcommand\fR
+.RS 4
+command string
+.RE
+.PP
+const SPIExecuteOptions * \fIoptions\fR
+.RS 4
+struct containing optional arguments
+.RE
+.PP
+Callers should always zero out the entire
+\fIoptions\fR
+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 available
+\fIoptions\fR
+fields are:
+.PP
+ParamListInfo \fIparams\fR
+.RS 4
+data structure containing query parameter types and values; NULL if none
+.RE
+.PP
+bool \fIread_only\fR
+.RS 4
+true
+for read\-only execution
+.RE
+.PP
+bool \fIallow_nonatomic\fR
+.RS 4
+true
+allows non\-atomic execution of CALL and DO statements
+.RE
+.PP
+bool \fImust_return_tuples\fR
+.RS 4
+if
+true, raise error if the query is not of a kind that returns tuples (this does not forbid the case where it happens to return zero tuples)
+.RE
+.PP
+uint64 \fItcount\fR
+.RS 4
+maximum number of rows to return, or
+0
+for no limit
+.RE
+.PP
+DestReceiver * \fIdest\fR
+.RS 4
+DestReceiver
+object that will receive any tuples emitted by the query; if NULL, result tuples are accumulated into a
+\fISPI_tuptable\fR
+structure, as in
+\fBSPI_execute\fR
+.RE
+.PP
+ResourceOwner \fIowner\fR
+.RS 4
+This field is present for consistency with
+\fBSPI_execute_plan_extended\fR, but it is ignored, since the plan used by
+\fBSPI_execute_extended\fR
+is never saved\&.
+.RE
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+.PP
+The return value is the same as for
+\fBSPI_execute\fR\&.
+.PP
+When
+\fIoptions\->dest\fR
+is NULL,
+\fISPI_processed\fR
+and
+\fISPI_tuptable\fR
+are set as in
+\fBSPI_execute\fR\&. When
+\fIoptions\->dest\fR
+is not NULL,
+\fISPI_processed\fR
+is set to zero and
+\fISPI_tuptable\fR
+is set to NULL\&. If a tuple count is required, the caller\*(Aqs
+DestReceiver
+object must calculate it\&.
