Prior to v14, we insisted that the query in RETURN QUERY be of a type
that returns tuples. (For instance, INSERT RETURNING was allowed,
but not plain INSERT.) That happened indirectly because we opened a
cursor for the query, so spi.c checked SPI_is_cursor_plan(). As a
consequence, the error message wasn't terribly on-point, but at least
it was there.
Commit 2f48ede08
lost this detail. Instead, plain RETURN QUERY
insisted that the query be a SELECT (by checking for SPI_OK_SELECT)
while RETURN QUERY EXECUTE failed to check the query type at all.
Neither of these changes was intended.
The only convenient place to check this in the EXECUTE case is inside
_SPI_execute_plan, because we haven't done parse analysis until then.
So we need to pass down a flag saying whether to enforce that the
query returns tuples. Fortunately, we can squeeze another boolean
into struct SPIExecuteOptions without an ABI break, since there's
padding space there. (It's unlikely that any extensions would
already be using this new struct, but preserving ABI in v14 seems
like a smart idea anyway.)
Within spi.c, it seemed like _SPI_execute_plan's parameter list
was already ridiculously long, and I didn't want to make it longer.
So I thought of passing SPIExecuteOptions down as-is, allowing that
parameter list to become much shorter. This makes the patch a bit
more invasive than it might otherwise be, but it's all internal to
spi.c, so that seems fine.
Per report from Marc Bachmann. Back-patch to v14 where the
faulty code came in.

<!-- doc/src/sgml/README.links --> Linking within DocBook documents can be confusing, so here is a summary: Intra-document Linking ---------------------- <xref> use to get chapter/section number from the title of the target link, or xreflabel if defined at the target, or refentrytitle if target is a refentry; has no close tag http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/xref.html linkend= controls the target of the link/xref, required endterm= for <xref>, allows the text of the link/xref to be taken from a different link target title <link> use to supply text for the link, only uses linkend, requires </link> http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/link.html can be embedded inside of <command>, unlike <xref> External Linking ---------------- <ulink> like <link>, but uses a URL (not a document target); requires </ulink>; if no text is specified, the URL appears as the link text http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/documentation/reference/html/ulink.html url= used by <ulink> to specify the URL, required Guidelines ---------- - For an internal link, if you want to supply text, use <link>, else <xref>. - Specific nouns like GUC variables, SQL commands, and contrib modules usually have xreflabels. - For an external link, use <ulink>, with or without link text. - xreflabels added to tags prevent the chapter/section for id's from being referenced; only the xreflabel is accessible. Therefore, use xreflabels only when linking is common, and chapter/section information is unneeded.
