We'd throw away the partial result anyway after parsing the error message. Throwing it away beforehand costs nothing and reduces the risk of out-of-memory failure. Also, at least in systems that behave like glibc/Linux, if the partial result was very large then the error PGresult would get allocated at high heap addresses, preventing the heap storage used by the partial result from being released to the OS until the error PGresult is freed. In psql >= 9.6, we hold onto the error PGresult until another error is received (for \errverbose), so that this behavior causes a seeming memory leak to persist for awhile, as in a recent complaint from Darafei Praliaskouski. This is a potential performance regression from older versions, justifying back-patching at least that far. But similar behavior may occur in other client applications, so it seems worth just back-patching to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
