NAME

       SPI_cursor_parse_open - set up a cursor using a query string and parameters

SYNOPSIS

       Portal SPI_cursor_parse_open(const char *name,
                                    const char *command,
                                    const SPIParseOpenOptions * options)

DESCRIPTION

       SPI_cursor_parse_open sets up a cursor (internally, a portal) that will execute the
       specified query string. This is comparable to SPI_prepare_cursor followed by
       SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist, except that parameter references within the query string
       are handled entirely by supplying a ParamListInfo object.

       For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred over SPI_prepare_cursor
       followed by SPI_cursor_open_with_paramlist. 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 options->params object should normally mark each parameter with the PARAM_FLAG_CONST
       flag, since a one-shot plan is always used for the query.

       The passed-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor's portal, so it can be freed
       while the cursor still exists.

ARGUMENTS

       const char * name
           name for portal, or NULL to let the system select a name

       const char * command
           command string

       const SPIParseOpenOptions * options
           struct containing optional arguments

       Callers should always zero out the entire options 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 options fields are:

       ParamListInfo params
           data structure containing query parameter types and values; NULL if none

       int cursorOptions
           integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior

       bool read_only
           true for read-only execution

RETURN VALUE

       Pointer to portal containing the cursor. Note there is no error return convention; any
       error will be reported via elog.
