Yes, palloc takes memory from the current memory context. The case where you would need to use pfree is if there is an allocation continuously done within the same code paths for a reason or another that may result in a leak if this code path is taken repeatedly and that the memory used is wasted out. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
