From 7fc2363a615842e42f927d915331a4b3bd67af19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alvaro Herrera Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2018 16:00:39 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] Make autovacuum more selective about temp tables to keep MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit When temp tables are in danger of XID wraparound, autovacuum drops them; however, it preserves those that are owned by a working session. This is desirable, except when the session is connected to a different database (because the temp tables cannot be from that session), so make it only keep the temp tables only if the backend is in the same database as the temp tables. This is not bulletproof: it fails to detect temp tables left by a session whose backend ID is reused in the same database but the new session does not use temp tables. Commit 943576bddcb5 fixes that case too, for branches 11 and up (which is why we don't apply this fix to those branches), but back-patching that one is not universally agreed on.
