Hi, I have a Linux Server (Debian) with Postgres 8.3 and I have problems with a massive update, about 400000 updates/inserts. If I execute about 100000 it seems all ok, but when I execute 400000, I have the same problem with or without a transaction (I need to do with a transaction) increase memory usage and disk usage. With a execution of 400.000 inserts/update server begin woring well, but after 100 seconds of executions increase usage of RAM, and then Swap and finally all RAM and swap are used and execution can't finish.
Do you have lots of triggers on the table? Or foreign key relationships that're DEFERRABLE ?
