40.5. Database Access from PL/Tcl
The following commands are available to access the database from the body of a PL/Tcl function:
spi_exec?-count n? ?-array name? command ?loop-body?-
Executes an SQL command given as a string. An error in the command causes an error to be raised. Otherwise, the return value of
spi_execis the number of rows processed (selected, inserted, updated, or deleted) by the command, or zero if the command is a utility statement. In addition, if the command is a SELECT statement, the values of the selected columns are placed in Tcl variables as described below.The optional -count value tells
spi_execthe maximum number of rows to process in the command. The effect of this is comparable to setting up a query as a cursor and then saying FETCH n.If the command is a SELECT statement, the values of the result columns are placed into Tcl variables named after the columns. If the -array option is given, the column values are instead stored into the named associative array, with the column names used as array indexes.
If the command is a SELECT statement and no loop-body script is given, then only the first row of results are stored into Tcl variables; remaining rows, if any, are ignored. No storing occurs if the query returns no rows. (This case can be detected by checking the result of
spi_exec.) For example:spi_exec "SELECT count(*) AS cnt FROM pg_proc"
will set the Tcl variable $cnt to the number of rows in the pg_proc system catalog.
If the optional loop-body argument is given, it is a piece of Tcl script that is executed once for each row in the query result. (loop-body is ignored if the given command is not a SELECT.) The values of the current row's columns are stored into Tcl variables before each iteration. For example:
spi_exec -array C "SELECT * FROM pg_class" { elog DEBUG "have table $C(relname)" }will print a log message for every row of pg_class. This feature works similarly to other Tcl looping constructs; in particular continue and break work in the usual way inside the loop body.
If a column of a query result is null, the target variable for it is "unset" rather than being set.

spi_preparequery typelist -
Prepares and saves a query plan for later execution. The saved plan will be retained for the life of the current session.
The query can use parameters, that is, placeholders for values to be supplied whenever the plan is actually executed. In the query string, refer to parameters by the symbols $1 ... $n. If the query uses parameters, the names of the parameter types must be given as a Tcl list. (Write an empty list for typelist if no parameters are used.)
The return value from
spi_prepareis a query ID to be used in subsequent calls tospi_execp. Seespi_execpfor an example. spi_execp?-count n? ?-array name? ?-nulls string? queryid ?value-list? ?loop-body?-
Executes a query previously prepared with
spi_prepare. queryid is the ID returned byspi_prepare. If the query references parameters, a value-list must be supplied. This is a Tcl list of actual values for the parameters. The list must be the same length as the parameter type list previously given tospi_prepare. Omit value-list if the query has no parameters.The optional value for -nulls is a string of spaces and 'n' characters telling
spi_execpwhich of the parameters are null values. If given, it must have exactly the same length as the value-list. If it is not given, all the parameter values are nonnull.Except for the way in which the query and its parameters are specified,
spi_execpworks just likespi_exec. The -count, -array, and loop-body options are the same, and so is the result value.Here's an example of a PL/Tcl function using a prepared plan:
CREATE FUNCTION t1_count(integer, integer) RETURNS integer AS $$ if {![ info exists GD(plan) ]} { # prepare the saved plan on the first call set GD(plan) [ spi_prepare \ "SELECT count(*) AS cnt FROM t1 WHERE num >= \$1 AND num <= \$2" \ [ list int4 int4 ] ] } spi_execp -count 1 $GD(plan) [ list $1 $2 ] return $cnt $$ LANGUAGE pltcl;We need backslashes inside the query string given to
spi_prepareto ensure that the $n markers will be passed through tospi_prepareas-is, and not replaced by Tcl variable substitution. spi_lastoidReturns the OID of the row inserted by the last
spi_execorspi_execp, if the command was a single-row INSERT and the modified table contained OIDs. (If not, you get zero.)-
quotestring -
Doubles all occurrences of single quote and backslash characters in the given string. This can be used to safely quote strings that are to be inserted into SQL commands given to
spi_execorspi_prepare. For example, think about an SQL command string like:"SELECT '$val' AS ret"
where the Tcl variable val actually contains doesn't. This would result in the final command string:
SELECT 'doesn't' AS ret
which would cause a parse error during
spi_execorspi_prepare. To work properly, the submitted command should contain:SELECT 'doesn''t' AS ret
which can be formed in PL/Tcl using:
"SELECT '[ quote $val ]' AS ret"
One advantage of
spi_execpis that you don't have to quote parameter values like this, since the parameters are never parsed as part of an SQL command string. -
eloglevel msg Emits a log or error message. Possible levels are DEBUG, LOG, INFO, NOTICE, WARNING, ERROR, and FATAL. ERROR raises an error condition; if this is not trapped by the surrounding Tcl code, the error propagates out to the calling query, causing the current transaction or subtransaction to be aborted. This is effectively the same as the Tcl error command. FATAL aborts the transaction and causes the current session to shut down. (There is probably no good reason to use this error level in PL/Tcl functions, but it's provided for completeness.) The other levels only generate messages of different priority levels. Whether messages of a particular priority are reported to the client, written to the server log, or both is controlled by the log_min_messages and client_min_messages configuration variables. See Chapter 18 for more information.
