Обсуждение: SPI memory overrun details

Hi,

I read in the documentation of SPI functions that an SPI_cursor is used
to avoid memory overrun in cases where a query returns many rows. I'd
like to learn more about this. Is their any place that I could find more
detailed information (e.g. max size of results, threshold - available
memory etc.)?

I searched the archives but nothing.

Regards,

You could look at plpgsql's use of SPI cursors for an example.
