✨ SPI_PFREE(3) ✨

Okay so this is the SPI_PFREE(3) page from the PostgreSQL 13.23 Documentation, and it’s all about freeing memory in the upper executor context, bestie πŸ’–


🌸 NAME 🌸

SPI_pfree β€” free memory in the upper executor context 🧚

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void SPI_pfree(void * pointer)

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

SPI_pfree frees memory that was previously allocated using SPI_palloc or SPI_repalloc. Cleanup era ✨

Real talk: this function is no longer different from plain pfree. It’s kept just for backward compatibility of existing code, periodt. So if you see it in old code, that’s the vibe β€” legacy support, not a whole new thing πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • void * pointer β€” pointer to existing storage to free 🫢

PostgreSQL 13.23 Β· 2025 Β· ok bye bestie, go free that memory responsibly πŸ’‹πŸŽ€
