<code class="function">SPI_cursor_open_with_args</code> sets up a cursor
(internally, a portal) that will execute the specified query.
Most of the parameters have the same meanings as the corresponding
parameters to <code class="function">SPI_prepare_cursor</code>
and <code class="function">SPI_cursor_open</code>.
</p><p>
For one-time query execution, this function should be preferred
over <code class="function">SPI_prepare_cursor</code> followed by
<code class="function">SPI_cursor_open</code>.
If the same command is to be executed with many different parameters,
either method might be faster, depending on the cost of re-planning
versus the benefit of custom plans.
</p><p>
The passed-in parameter data will be copied into the cursor's portal, so it
can be freed while the cursor still exists.
</p><p>
This function is now deprecated in favor
of <code class="function">SPI_cursor_parse_open</code>, which provides equivalent
functionality using a more modern API for handling query parameters.

are null. Otherwise, each entry of the <em class="parameter"><code>nulls</code></em>

value is non-null, or <code class="literal">'n'</code> if the corresponding parameter
value is null. (In the latter case, the actual value in the
corresponding <em class="parameter"><code>values</code></em> entry doesn't matter.) Note
that <em class="parameter"><code>nulls</code></em> is not a text string, just an array:
it does not need a <code class="literal">'\0'</code> terminator.
