Hi! I posted the following message to the general list but no answer.Could you please help?
I have some problems with the SPI memory management (at least I think this is the problem). What I'm trying to do is to get the Query related to a select statement, alter it and produce a new SPI_plan that will execute. To do so, I retrieve the query from the _SPI_plan->qtlist, alter it (seems OK in nodeToString) and then use some SPI functions copied in my code to produce the new _SPI_plan. In more details, I begin a new my_SPI session, call my_SPI_prepare and pass the query. The code is almost the same with that in spi.c apart from that I do not call pg_parse and pg_analyze_and_rewrite.Then I begin a new SPI session and pass the new plan. Now, the problem: Everything works fine only when I execute my function just after I have initiated a new psql session. When I try to call it again, the Query structure inside the new plan seems empty (all fields shown by nodeToString seem to have no values). Even if I reload my shared library (load command),the same problem appears. I allocate memory for the Query object with palloc() outside a SPI or my_SPI session. Any hints? Thanks in advance!
