The initialized values are not much helpful in the cases I provided here. What do you think about this question? 2. _If_ the relation can be reset after we open it during Executor code, then would the relation (RelationData *) pointed memory still validated after the relcache reset? For example CREATE TABLE t(a int); INSERT INTO t VALUES(1), (2); UPDATE t set a = 100; We need to update 2 tuples in the update statement, if the relcache is reset after the first tuple is updated, can we still use the previous (RelationData *) to do the 2nd update? This is just a common example. If you would say, in this case the relcache can't be reset, then the question come back to what situation the relcache can be reset between the first time I open it during execution code and the end of execution code. I think we have some talks about this at [1]. Right now, I am not pretty sure I am doing something well. That's why I post the question here. but still I didn't find a better solution right now.
