SPI_GETARGCOUNT(3)

💅 SPI_GETARGCOUNT(3) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the SPI_GETARGCOUNT page from the PostgreSQL 13.23 Documentation — she's a tiny one but she's iconic, and honestly she's here to answer one (1) very specific question for you 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

SPI_getargcount — literally just returns the number of arguments needed by a statement prepared by SPI_prepare. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int SPI_getargcount(SPIPlanPtr plan)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so SPI_getargcount returns the number of arguments needed to execute a statement prepared by SPI_prepare. no cap, that's the entire vibe — you hand her a plan, she tells you how many arguments that plan expects. iykyk 🫶

---

🌈 ARGUMENTS 🌈

• SPIPlanPtr plan — the prepared statement (returned by SPI_prepare). this is your main character right here 👑

---

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

the count of expected arguments for the plan 💖

but listen — plot twist 🙈 if the plan is NULL or invalid, then SPI_result is set to SPI_ERROR_ARGUMENT and -1 is returned. so like, handle that, bestie. fr fr.

⚠️ heads up: -1 is not a valid argument count, it's the "something went wrong" signal — check SPI_result when you see it 😭

---

and that's the whole page, babe — short, sweet, and lowkey perfect 🧚‍♀️💜

sign-off time: this lil page is from PostgreSQL 13.23 and it's dated 2025 — so like, she's current, she's fresh, she's giving documentation excellence ⭐🔥

SPI_GETARGCOUNT(3) — periodt. 💅
