SYNOPSIS
SPIPlanPtr SPI_prepare_cursor(const char * command, int nargs,
Oid * argtypes, int cursorOptions)
DESCRIPTION
SPI_prepare_cursor is identical to SPI_prepare, except that it also allows specification of the planner's “cursor options” parameter. This is a bit mask having the values shown in nodes/parsenodes.h for the options field of DeclareCursorStmt. SPI_prepare always takes the cursor options as zero.
ARGUMENTS
const char * command
command string
int nargs
number of input parameters ($1, $2, etc.)
Oid * argtypes
pointer to an array containing the OIDs of the data types
of the parameters
int cursorOptions
integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default
behavior
RETURN VALUE
SPI_prepare_cursor has the same return conventions as SPI_prepare.
NOTES
Useful bits to set in cursorOptions include CURSOR_OPT_SCROLL, CURSOR_OPT_NO_SCROLL, CURSOR_OPT_FAST_PLAN, CURSOR_OPT_GENERIC_PLAN, and CURSOR_OPT_CUSTOM_PLAN. Note in particular that CURSOR_OPT_HOLD is ignored.
