SPI_EXECUTE_WITH_ARGS(3)PostgreSQL 9.3.2 DocumentationSPI_EXECUTE_WITH_ARGS(3)NAMESPI_execute_with_args - execute a command with out-of-line parameters
SYNOPSIS
int SPI_execute_with_args(const char *command,
int nargs, Oid *argtypes,
Datum *values, const char *nulls,
bool read_only, long count)
DESCRIPTIONSPI_execute_with_args executes a command that might include references
to externally supplied parameters. The command text refers to a
parameter as $n, and the call specifies data types and values for each
such symbol. read_only and count have the same interpretation as in
SPI_execute.
The main advantage of this routine compared to SPI_execute is that data
values can be inserted into the command without tedious
quoting/escaping, and thus with much less risk of SQL-injection
attacks.
Similar results can be achieved with SPI_prepare followed by
SPI_execute_plan; however, when using this function the query plan is
always customized to the specific parameter values provided. For
one-time query execution, this function should be preferred. 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.
ARGUMENTS
const char * command
command string
int nargs
number of input parameters ($1, $2, etc.)
Oid * argtypes
an array of length nargs, containing the OIDs of the data types of
the parameters
Datum * values
an array of length nargs, containing the actual parameter values
const char * nulls
an array of length nargs, describing which parameters are null
If nulls is NULL then SPI_execute_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_only
true for read-only execution
long count
maximum number of rows to return, or 0 for no limit
RETURN VALUE
The return value is the same as for SPI_execute.
SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable are set as in SPI_execute if successful.
