Yeah, my approach here is to use a CATCH block that deletes the memory context just created, thus avoiding a long-lived leak.

Sure ... in the code as I have it we only assign the local variable to the relcache entry if everything is succesful.

That's another way (than the PG_TRY block), but I think it's more complicated with no gain. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
