This will not get you very far, because the stat collector is not a real backend. The checkpointer process might be a better example, but it's not quite a real backend either. You need to be a real backend to access shared buffers, locking, etc. > I don't understand why it thinks I'm in a function, Because CurrentMemoryContext is not QueryContext (presumably you never set QueryContext at all). This is a pretty cheesy test but I can't think of a better one offhand... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
