[pgpool-hackers: 568] Re: Memory contexts

[Muhammad Usama]

Hi

Below is the little description of MemoryContexts used by pgpool-II

ProcessLoopContext:
This context resets at every main loop iteration of each process

TopMemoryContext:
This context is same as PostgreSQL's TopMemoryContext and lives for a life
time of process.

ErrorContext:
Same as PostgreSQL's ErrorContext and used for error processing.

QueryContext:
Used by pgpool-II child process and, lives for single query cycle.

Rest of the contexts are inherited from PostgreSQL code and are not used. I
think we should remove these
