[pgpool-general: 8299] Re: Timestamp cast not cached

Agree but for some reason timestamptz cached and timestamp not.

I believe it’s happened because the selected cast function for timestamp
has provolatile = “s” and the selected cast function for timestamptz has
provolatile = “i”.

Both castType have multiple cast function configured. Those functions that
are using time zone has provolatile “s” and those are not using time zone
have provolatile “i”.

I think in order to fix this issue in a generic way. The solution should
understand which cast function are fetched by postgres when the client ask
for casting.

I hope it makes sense.

Thanks,

Avi
