+.SH "NAME"
+SPI_freetuptable \- free a row set created by \fBSPI_execute\fR or a similar function
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.nf
+void SPI_freetuptable(SPITupleTable * \fItuptable\fR)
+.fi
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBSPI_freetuptable\fR
+frees a row set created by a prior SPI command execution function, such as
+\fBSPI_execute\fR\&. Therefore, this function is often called with the global variable
+\fISPI_tuptable\fR
+as argument\&.
+.PP
+This function is useful if an SPI\-using C function needs to execute multiple commands and does not want to keep the results of earlier commands around until it ends\&. Note that any unfreed row sets will be freed anyway at
+\fBSPI_finish\fR\&. Also, if a subtransaction is started and then aborted within execution of an SPI\-using C function, SPI automatically frees any row sets created while the subtransaction was running\&.
+.PP
+Beginning in
+PostgreSQL
+9\&.3,
+\fBSPI_freetuptable\fR
+contains guard logic to protect against duplicate deletion requests for the same row set\&. In previous releases, duplicate deletions would lead to crashes\&.
+.SH "ARGUMENTS"
+.PP
+SPITupleTable * \fItuptable\fR
+.RS 4
+pointer to row set to free, or NULL to do nothing
