SPI_FREETUPLE(3)

💅 SPI_FREETUPLE(3) 💅

okay so this is a page straight outta the PostgreSQL 15.19 Documentation bestie, and it's a tiny one — like, micro. but we're gonna give it the respect it deserves anyway 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

SPI_freetuple — frees a row that was allocated up in the upper executor context 🌸

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void SPI_freetuple(HeapTuple row)

literally one line. one (1) job. iconic behavior honestly 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so SPI_freetuple frees a row that was previously allocated in the upper executor context. that's the whole vibe. row go bye 💀✨

but here's the tea 🍓: this function is no longer different from plain heap_freetuple. like, at all. nothing special going on under the hood anymore.

it's kept around just for backward compatibility of existing code — so if you've got old code calling SPI_freetuple, it still works, no cap. it's giving legacy icon, not main character energy. don't go reaching for it in new code thinking it does something fancy — it does not. 🙈

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• HeapTuple row — the row you wanna free. that's it. that's the argument. 🎀

ngl this whole page is like three sentences, but every single one of them is here, so we ate 🔥
