Hi …
I am trying to run a query that selects 26 million rows from a
table with 68 byte rows.
When run on the Server via psql the following error occurs:
calloc : Cannot allocate memory
When run via ODBC from Cognos Framework Manager only works
if we limit the retrieval to 3 million rows.
I notice that the memory used by the query when run on the Server increases
to about 2.4 GB before the query fails.
Postgres version is 7.3.4
Running on Linux Redhat 7.2
4 GB memory
7 Processor 2.5 Ghz
Shmmax set to 2 GB
Configuration Parameters
Shared Buffers 12 288
Max Connections 16
Wal buffers 24
Sort Mem 40960
Vacuum Mem 80192
Checkpoint Timeout 600
Enable Seqscan false
