If by 'permanently', you mean even when you intentionally break things,
then no. You will always be able to intentionally break things. There is
on-going discussion of an auto-prewarm feature. But that doesn't yet
exist; and once it does, a super user will always be able to break it.
Presumably you have a use-case in mind other than intentional sabotage of
your caches by root. But, what is it? If you reboot the server
frequently, maybe you can just throw 'select pg_prewarm...' into an init
script?
