  1. PostgreSQL 7.0.3: Memory leak in ESQL library

    Thorsten Knabe <tek@thorsten-knabe.de> — 2001-01-02T13:39:53Z

    Hello,

I've found a memory leak in libecpg of PostgreSQL 7.0.3.
The leak is caused by the memory allocation in
src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c in line 669 which is never freed.
Adding a "free(array_query);" after PQexec in line 671 seems to fix the
leak.

Regards
Thorsten
