if the function exists in a pgsql table or not?

There aren't any controls to pin a table into memory in PostgreSQL. The way the database uses both its dedicated buffer cache as well as the OS one, it's hard to even define such a UI that would make sense--the database doesn't have any control or interaction with the OS cache.

The mechanism for deciding what stays in the PostgreSQL cache is a bit more complicated than an LRU, while the one in the OS probably is a LRU. If the table is used frequently, it's very likely to stay in one of the two caches anyway.
