Hi. Due to some bug report for the postgresql python interface, I started testing the current large objects support. Two points seems to be wrong, but yet I only studied one. LO may span over some blocks and whenever a block boundary is crossed (for the first access for example, or whenever a full block has been read), the lo_read() query gets a: "NOTICE: buffer leak [xx] detected in BufferPoolCheckLeak()" The leak is located in an index_getnext() call to seek the next block (using a btree index). But as this part of code is less easy to follow and I can't go further. This call is locate in inv_fetchtup(), called by inv_read() from the inv_api.c file. Could someone give me some pointers on how I could track where the faulty buffer is allocated? Thanks. --- Pascal ANDRE, Internet and Media Consulting andre@via.ecp.fr "Use the source, Luke.
