I'm not exactly sure the cache usage in mbutils.c because it doesn't have routine for cache invalidation at all. Conversion procs are rarely replaced, but we might not ought to keep cached functions unlimitedly. Regexp cache is OK because the algorithm cannot be modified at runtime. > We need only 4 or so for encoding > conversion cache, in which cache search doesn't seem like overhead. We need to research what we should cache for conversion procs. We will need 4 bytes per conversion pair if we cache only OIDs, but sizeof(FmgrInfo) bytes if we use the same way as ToXXXConvProc cache. -- Itagaki Takahiro -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
