Tom Lane a2c2bbcd28 Fix I/O-conversion-related memory leaks in plpgsql. Datatype I/O functions are allowed to leak memory in CurrentMemoryContext, since they are generally called in short-lived contexts. However, plpgsql calls such functions for purposes of type conversion, and was calling them in its procedure context. Therefore, any leaked memory would not be recovered until the end of the plpgsql function. If such a conversion was done within a loop, quite a bit of memory could get consumed. Fix by calling such functions in the transient "eval_econtext", and adjust other logic to match. Back-patch to all supported versions. Andres Freund, Jan Urbański, Tom Lane		14 years ago

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
