SPI_PREPARE_EXTENDED(3) PostgreSQL 16.2 Documentation SPI_PREPARE_EXTENDED(3) NAME SPI_prepare_extended - prepare a statement, without executing it yet SYNOPSIS SPIPlanPtr SPI_prepare_extended(const char * command, const SPIPrepareOptions * options) DESCRIPTION SPI_prepare_extended creates and returns a prepared statement for the specified command, but doesn't execute the command. This function is equivalent to SPI_prepare, with the addition that the caller can specify options to control the parsing of external parameter references, as well as other facets of query parsing and planning. ARGUMENTS const char * command command string const SPIPrepareOptions * 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: ParserSetupHook parserSetup Parser hook setup function void * parserSetupArg pass-through argument for parserSetup RawParseMode parseMode mode for raw parsing; RAW_PARSE_DEFAULT (zero) produces default behavior int cursorOptions integer bit mask of cursor options; zero produces default behavior RETURN VALUE SPI_prepare_extended has the same return conventions as SPI_prepare.
