Yes, same prepared statement from both psql and JDBC. We started to compare with one by one, and see big
differenceas explained. Psql and JDBC show big difference. Let's focuse on JDBC driver client ,why it consumes 160MB
memoryeven table size is very small. But only consumes 25MB for non-partitioned tables with same table attributes and
datavolume size.

How many JDBC clients were there?
Did you use the same number of clients when you used psql ?
Otherwise it wasn't a fair test.
Also, did you try using psql with PREPARE+EXECUTE ? I imagine memory use would match JDBC.
It's probably not important, but if you set the log level high enough, you could log memory use more accurately using
log_executor_stats(maxrss).
> So, looks like something with Postgresql JDBC driver lead to the high memory consumption when table is partitioned ,
evenwhen table is no partitioned , compared with psql client, it consumes more memory. Any suggestions to tune that ?
PG V13 , OS RHEL8 , Virtua machine on VMWARE. We make shared_buffers=36% physical memory ,
effective_cache_size=70%physicalmemory , total physical memory is about 128GB.
I sent this before hoping to get answers to all the most common questions earlier, rather than being spread out over
thefirst handful of emails.

version 13 point what ?
what are the other non-default gucs ?
what are the query plans ?
