A while ago the some developers inserted several records with a document (stored in doc_Data) that was around 400 - 450 MB each. Now when you do a select * (all) from this table you get a hang and the system becomes unresponsive.
What application/program is "hanging"? The client that retrieves the data or PostgreSQL itself?
So I'm not sure how to find these bad records and why I am getting a hang.
If your client application is hanging, I don't think there is a single "bad" record, it just chokes on the size of the result set. Regards Thomas -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
