Yeah, this sounds correct, but I'm wondering if the current pfree
calls on postgres_fdw_connection() is needed?
My previous review was assuming that any allocated memory on
postgres_fdw_connection() should be free at the end because of these
calls, but ForeignServerConnectionString() already assume that this
function leak memory:
/*
* GetForeignServer, GetForeignDataWrapper, and the connection function
* itself all leak memory into CurrentMemoryContext. Switch to a
temporary
* context for easy cleanup.
*/
tempContext = AllocSetContextCreate(CurrentMemoryContext,
"FDWConnectionContext",
ALLOCSET_SMALL_SIZES);
