Hi, I've changed the large object memory managment strategy to ensure that each large object has it's own memory context. This way I can free all memory for a large object when I lo_close is called for it's oid. This seems to work. I've noticed that the heap_close function used to close the heap used by a large object doesn't really do any thing. (It calls RelationClose which decrements some reference count). Somehow I have to free the relation from the cache in the following situations: 1. In a transaction I must free the stuff when the transaction is commited/aborted. 2. Otherwise it must happen when lo_close is called. Is this right? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks Maurice.
