> Please note that this (1792MB) is the highest that I could set for work_mem. Yeah, that's almost certainly part of your problem. You need to make that number MUCH smaller. You probably want a value like 1MB or 5MB or maybe if you have really a lot of memory 20MB. That's insanely high. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
