EXECUTE — execute a prepared statement
EXECUTEplan_name
[ (parameter
[, ...] ) ]
EXECUTE
is used to execute a previously prepared
statement. Since prepared statements only exist for the duration of a
session, the prepared 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.
plan_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 of a type compatible with
the data type specified for this parameter position in the
PREPARE
command that created the prepared
statement.
