Catalog cache lookups have to happen in the context of a transaction,
this is what this assertion failure means, so your code is doing
something incorrect. We have such examples of short-term transactions
opened in the PostgreSQL code for some cache lookups.
IdentifySystem() in walsender.c looking for the database name is one
such example (see StartTransactionCommand and CommitTransactionCommand).
