Hi,
I'm having a problem with plpgsql functions leaking memory.
I've reproduced the problem with this simple function here :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ftest()
RETURNS boolean AS
$BODY$BEGIN
INSERT INTO test2 values (1);
RETURN true;
END;$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
test2 table is a one column table
CREATE TABLE test2
(
id integer
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE);
Then to see the leak, I've called it repeatedly with a perl program :
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
#
use DBI;
$dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Pg:dbname=test","postgres");
my $statement = 'SELECT ftest ()';
$sth = $dbh->prepare($statement);
$dbh->begin_work();
for ($i=0;$i<1000000;$i++)
{
$sth->execute();
}
$dbh->rollback();
I see the postgresql process growing from 8MB to about 400 MB during this
run...
It only seems to happen when a function contains an insert statement (I don't
see leaks when only selecting).
logs=# SELECT version();
