Greetings,

There are suggestions that you can use extended query to fetch from a cursor, however I don't see how you can bind values to the cursor ?

PostgreSQL: Documentation: 16: FETCH

Is this possible?

Not that i can see.  The declare’d query isn’t shown to accept $n bindings rather it must be executable (select or values).  Per the note on declare, the bind phase of the fetch command under the extended protocol is used to determine whether values retrieved are text or binary.  Beyond that, the bind is really just a formality of the protocol, the same as for executing any other non-parameterized query that way.

Seems you can bind to the Declare though.
