The previous coding saved pointers into the partitioned table's relcache entry, but then closed the relcache entry, causing those pointers to nominally become dangling. Actual trouble would be seen in the field only if a relcache flush occurred mid-query, but that's hardly out of the question. While we could fix this by copying all the data in question at query start, it seems better to just hold the relcache entry open for the whole query. While at it, improve the handling of support-function lookups: do that once per query not once per pruning test. There's still something to be desired here, in that we fail to exploit the possibility of caching data across queries in the fn_extra fields of the relcache's FmgrInfo structs, which could happen if we just used those structs in-place rather than copying them. However, combining that with the possibility of per-query lookups of cross-type comparison functions seems to require changes in the APIs of a lot of the pruning support functions, so it's too invasive to consider as part of this patch. A win would ensue only for complex partition key data types (e.g. arrays), so it may not be worth the trouble.

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/.
