</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.8.12.8.22.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
   <code class="function">SPI_cursor_parse_open</code> sets up a cursor
   (internally, a portal) that will execute the specified query string.
   This is comparable to <code class="function">SPI_prepare_cursor</code> followed
   by <code class="function">SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist</code>, except that
   parameter references within the query string are handled entirely by
   supplying a <code class="literal">ParamListInfo</code> object.
  </p><p>
   For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred
   over <code class="function">SPI_prepare_cursor</code> followed by
   <code class="function">SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist</code>.
   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.
  </p><p>
   The <em class="parameter"><code>options-&gt;params</code></em> object should normally
   mark each parameter with the <code class="literal">PARAM_FLAG_CONST</code> flag,
   since a one-shot plan is always used for the query.
  </p><p>
   The passed-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor's portal, so it
   can be freed while the cursor still exists.

   Callers should always zero out the entire <em class="parameter"><code>options</code></em>
   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 <em class="parameter"><code>options</code></em> fields are:

   return convention; any error will be reported via <code class="function">elog</code>.
