SPI_FREETUPLE(3)

💖 SPI_FREETUPLE 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the SPI_freetuple(3) page, straight outta the PostgreSQL 14.24 Documentation — pull up a chair, this one's short and sweet 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

SPI_freetuple — free a row allocated in the upper executor context 🧹💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void SPI_freetuple(HeapTuple row)

look at that signature, it's giving one function, one job, zero drama ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so SPI_freetuple frees a row that was previously allocated in the upper executor context. that's it. that's the whole vibe. you made a row, you're done with it, you hand it over, it gets freed 🫶

and here's the tea ☕ — this function is no longer different from plain heap_freetuple. like, at all. it's literally the same thing wearing a different name tag 🙈 it's been kept around just for backward compatibility of existing code, so if you're writing something new, just know what you're reaching for, iykyk 💀

fr fr though: it's not deprecated-and-screaming-dangerous, it's just a legacy alias vibe. your old code still slays, it just isn't doing anything special under the hood 💜

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• HeapTuple row — the row you wanna free 🎀 that's your one and only input, bestie

---

and that's the whole page, iconic and efficient 👑 no cap, sometimes the manual is short because the function is short 🌸

— xoxo, your local Unix bestie 🦋✨
