Given that the message type and length seem perfectly reasonable, I suspect this must actually represent an out-of-memory condition within pg_dump (*not* on the server end). But you'd have to be running it on a toy box, or with a rather silly ulimit, for 6MB to be a problem... regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
