NAME

       EXECUTE - execute a prepared query

SYNOPSIS

	  EXECUTE plan_name [ (parameter [, ...] ) ]

   INPUTS
       plan_name
	      The name of the prepared query to execute.

       parameter
	      The  actual  value  of a parameter to the prepared query.  This must be an expression yielding a value of a type compatible with the
	      data-type specified for this parameter position in the PREPARE statement that created the prepared query.

DESCRIPTION

       EXECUTE is used to execute a previously prepared query. Since prepared queries only exist for the duration of a session, the prepared query
       must have been created by a PREPARE statement executed earlier in the current session.

       If  the	PREPARE  statement  that created the query specified some parameters, a compatible set of parameters must be passed to the EXECUTE
       statement, or else an error is raised. Note that (unlike functions) prepared queries are not overloaded based on  the  type  or	number	of
       their parameters: the name of a prepared query must be unique within a database session.

       For more information on the creation and usage of prepared queries, see PREPARE [prepare(7)].

COMPATIBILITY

   SQL92
       SQL92  includes	an EXECUTE statement, but it is only for use in embedded SQL clients. The EXECUTE statement implemented by PostgreSQL also
       uses a somewhat different syntax.

NAME

       EXECUTE - execute a prepared statement

SYNOPSIS

       EXECUTE name [ ( parameter [, ...] ) ]

DESCRIPTION

       EXECUTE	is  used  to execute a previously prepared statement. Since prepared statements only exist for the duration of a session, the pre-
       pared statement must have been created by a PREPARE statement executed earlier in the current session.

       If the PREPARE statement that created the statement specified some parameters, a compatible set of parameters must be passed to the EXECUTE
       statement,  or  else an error is raised. Note that (unlike functions) prepared statements are not overloaded based on the type or number of
       their parameters; the name of a prepared statement must be unique within a database session.

       For more information on the creation and usage of prepared statements, see PREPARE [prepare(7)].

PARAMETERS

       name   The name of the prepared statement to execute.

       parameter
	      The actual value of a parameter to the prepared statement. This must be an expression yielding a value that is compatible  with  the
	      data type of this parameter, as was determined when the prepared statement was created.

OUTPUTS

       The command tag returned by EXECUTE is that of the prepared statement, and not EXECUTE.

EXAMPLES

       Examples are given in the Examples [prepare(7)] section of the PREPARE [prepare(7)] documentation.

COMPATIBILITY

       The  SQL  standard includes an EXECUTE statement, but it is only for use in embedded SQL. This version of the EXECUTE statement also uses a
       somewhat different syntax.
