Hi, I am trying to restore a table out of a dump, and I get an 'out of memory' error. The table I want to restore is 5GB big. Here is the exact message : admaxg@goules:/home/backup-sas$ pg_restore -F c -a -d axabas -t cabmnt axabas.dmp pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 5492; 0 43701 TABLE DATA cabmnt axabas pg_restore: [archiver (db)] COPY failed: ERROR: out of memory DETAIL: Failed on request of size 40. CONTEXT: COPY cabmnt, line 9038995: "FHSJ CPTGEN RE 200806_004 6.842725E7 6.842725E7 \N 7321100 1101 \N 00016 \N \N \N \N \N \N -1278.620..." WARNING: errors ignored on restore: 1 Looking at the os level, the process is effectively eating all memory (incl. swap), that is around 24 GB... So, here is my question : is pg_restore supposed to eat all memory ? and is there something I can do to prevent that ?
