[pgpool-general: 222] Re: More information on relcache_expire

> I mean, let's say I define the value of relcache_expire as "600" seconds. and the TABLE in cache is ALTERED before that. That means my query will produce the wrong result because the relation cache is not yet updated/expired, right?

Yes.

 On what basis one would define the value of relcache_expire in pgpool.conf?

I don't think changing table structure so frequently is a real life
usecase. Rather I think it happens during application development:
table structures are not stable.

If your customer really wants to change table structure every 5
minutes, probably there's something wrong with user's work flow
anyway.
