The general design of memory management in Postgres is that intermediate results computed by an expression are not freed until the end of the tuple cycle. For expression indexes, ANALYZE has to re-evaluate each expression for each of its sample rows, and it wasn't bothering to free intermediate results until the end of processing of that index. This could lead to very substantial leakage if the intermediate results were large, as in a recent example from Jakub Ouhrabka. Fix by doing ResetExprContext for each sample row. This necessitates adding a datumCopy step to ensure that the final expression value isn't recycled too. Some quick testing suggests that this change adds at worst about 10% to the time needed to analyze a table with an expression index; which is annoying, but seems a tolerable price to pay to avoid unexpected out-of-memory problems. Back-patch 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: http://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. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. 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 http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
