Thread: question about the _SPI_save_plan() and plan cache
Hi, It seems postgres cache the plan under CacheMemoryContext during the plpgsql executing. If there is a function with lots of variables and every one of them got a default value, postgres will allocate lots of memory for caching the default value plan(we have to run the function at least once). Once we DROP the function, the memory consumed by the plan will be leak. The same thing for the compiled function structure(PLpgSQL_function). Is this an oldest known question? Thanks, Tao Ma

I'm pretty unconcerned about DROP FUNCTION. The case that seems worth
worrying about is CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION, and in that case we'll
reclaim the storage on the next call of the function.

I knew that the delete_function() will reclaim the memory context allocated for the function. But I did not find any code for removing the plan(SPI plan memory context), saved by calling _SPI_save_plan. Is the plan memory context freed when someone issued CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION? Thanks.

Hmmm ... good point, those probably won't get cleaned up. In an
environment where functions are getting changed constantly, that
might be worth doing.

Hi, I just paste a re-produce sql script. Is it possible to cache the
SPI plan under the function cache context?
Thanks.
