SPI_cursor_open_with_args — set up a cursor using a query and parameters
Portal SPI_cursor_open_with_args(const char *name, const char *command, intnargs, Oid *argtypes, Datum *values, const char *nulls, boolread_only, intcursorOptions)
SPI_cursor_open_with_args 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 SPI_prepare_cursor and SPI_cursor_open.
For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred over SPI_prepare_cursor followed by SPI_cursor_open. 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.
The passed-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor's portal, so it can be freed while the cursor still exists.
const char * namename for portal, or NULL to let the system select a name
const char * commandcommand string
int nargsnumber of input parameters ($1, $2, etc.)
Oid * argtypesan array of length nargs, containing the OIDs of the data types of the parameters
Datum * valuesan array of length nargs, containing the actual parameter values
const char * nullsan array of length nargs, describing which parameters are null
If nulls is NULL then SPI_cursor_open_with_args assumes that no parameters are null. Otherwise, each entry of the nulls array should be ' ' if the corresponding parameter value is non-null, or 'n' if the corresponding parameter value is null. (In the latter case, the actual value in the corresponding values entry doesn't matter.) Note that nulls is not a text string, just an array: it does not need a '\0' terminator.
bool read_onlytrue for read-only execution
int cursorOptionsinteger bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior
Pointer to portal containing the cursor. Note there is no error return convention; any error will be reported via elog.
