.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\&.
