SPI_SAVEPLAN(3) 					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 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.
