Re: simplifying foreign key/RI checks

Hi Amit-san,

Thanks for the answer!

That's right.
CREATE PARTITION TABLE included in the test script(rep.sql) was using SPI.
In a new session, I confirmed that CachedPlan is not generated when only
execute INSERT.

# only execute INSERT

postgres=# INSERT INTO ps SELECT generate_series(1,4999);
INSERT 0 4999
postgres=#
postgres=# INSERT INTO pr SELECT i, i from generate_series(1,4999)i;
INSERT 0 4999

postgres=# SELECT name, sum(used_bytes) as bytes,
pg_size_pretty(sum(used_bytes)) FROM pg_backend_memory_contexts
WHERE name LIKE 'Cached%' GROUP BY name;

 name | bytes | pg_size_pretty
------+-------+----------------
(0 rows) ★ No CachedPlan

I see.
So this is a solution to the problem of using SPI plans in partitions,
not just DELETE.
I agree with you, I think this is a solution to the current problem.
