The patch is not applied to the most recent source because extra
parameter was added to CreateTemplateTupleDesc method.
Please rebase it - the fix is trivial.
I think that including in pg_prepared_statements information about
memory used this statement is very useful.
CachedPlanMemoryUsage function may be useful not only for this view, but
for example it is also need in my autoprepare patch.
I wonder if you consider go further and not only report but control
memory used by prepared statements?
For example implement some LRU replacement discipline on top of prepared
statements cache which can
evict rarely used prepared statements to avoid memory overflow.
We have such patch for PgPro-EE but it limits only number of prepared
statement, not taken in account amount of memory used by them.
I think that memory based limit will be more accurate (although it adds
more overhead).
If you want, I can be reviewer of your patch.
