SPI_SAVEPLAN(3) PostgreSQL 9.2.24 Documentation SPI_SAVEPLAN(3)

NAME

SPI_saveplan - save a prepared statement

SYNOPSIS

SPIPlanPtr SPI_saveplan(SPIPlanPtr plan)

DESCRIPTION

SPI_saveplan copies a passed statement (prepared by SPI_prepare) into memory that will not be freed by SPI_finish nor by the transaction manager, and returns a pointer to the copied statement. This gives you the ability to reuse prepared statements in the subsequent invocations of your procedure in the current session.

ARGUMENTS

SPIPlanPtr plan

the prepared statement to be saved

RETURN VALUE

Pointer to the copied statement; or NULL if unsuccessful. On error, SPI_result is set thus:

SPI_ERROR_ARGUMENT

if plan is NULL or invalid

SPI_ERROR_UNCONNECTED

if called from an unconnected procedure

NOTES

The originally passed-in statement is not freed, so you might wish to do SPI_freeplan on it to avoid leaking memory until SPI_finish.

In most cases, SPI_keepplan is preferred to this function, since it accomplishes largely the same result without needing to physically copy the prepared statement's data structures.
