OK Guys, you are very kind to continue taking an interest in this matter. I will try what I can to help squish the bug. Tomas Vondra just added a good idea that explains why I get the out of memory with still having so much cache available: # sysctl vm.overcommit_memory vm.overcommit_memory = 2 # sysctl vm.overcommit_ratio vm.overcommit_ratio = 50 as he predicted. # cat /proc/meminfo |grep Commit CommitLimit: 3955192 kB Committed_AS: 2937352 kB So I thing that explains why it turns into an out of memory
error. We don't worry or wonder about that any more. I will change
that parameter in the future to allow for some spikes. But it's
not going to resolve the underlying memory leak issue. Now I run explain analyze SELECT ... without the INSERT. integrator=# \set VERBOSITY verbose integrator=# integrator=# \pset pager off Pager usage is off. integrator=# \pset format unaligned Output format is unaligned. integrator=# \set VERBOSITY verbose integrator=# integrator=# SET ENABLE_NESTLOOP TO OFF; SET integrator=# explain analyze SELECT * FROM reports.v_BusinessOperation; ERROR: 53200: out of memory DETAIL: Failed on request of size 32800 in memory context "HashBatchContext". LOCATION: MemoryContextAlloc, mcxt.c:798 And since that failed already, I guess we don't need to worry about the temporary table insert. About adding LIMIT, I don't think it makes sense in the outer
query, since the error is probably happening earlier. I did put a
LIMIT 100 on one of the tables we join to, and it helped. But that
doesn't really tell us anything I think. Then yes, I can try the backtrace with the NLs enabled. It will just take a long long time and unfortunately it is extremely likely that I lose the console and then will be unable to get back to it. OK, screen(1) resolves that problem too. Will do, after I reported the above. But now you have already produced more ideas ...
Maybe it is memory for trigger or constraint checking, although I don't I think triggers and constraints is ruled out, because the
problem happens without the INSERT. That leaves us with _expression_ evaluation. And OK, now you really wanna see the query, although it should be in the plan too. But for what it is worth: SELECT DISTINCT documentInternalId, is_current, documentId, documentTypeCode, subjectRoleInternalId, subjectEntityInternalId, subjectEntityId, subjectEntityIdRoot, subjectEntityName, subjectEntityTel, subjectEntityEmail, otherEntityInternalId, confidentialityCode, actInternalId, code_code as operationCode, code_displayName AS operationName, operationQualifierCode, operationQualifierName, approvalNumber, approvalNumberSystem, approvalStateCode, approvalStateCodeSystem, approvalEffectiveTimeLow, approvalEffectiveTimeHigh, approvalStatusCode, licenseCode, agencyId, agencyName, productItemCode, productInternalId FROM reports.DocumentInformationSubject LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT documentInternalId, documentId, actInternalId, subjectEntityCode as productItemCode, subjectEntityInternalId as productInternalId FROM reports.DocumentInformationSubject WHERE participationTypeCode = 'PRD') prd USING(documentInternalId, documentId, actInternalId) LEFT OUTER JOIN ( SELECT documentInternalId, q.code_code AS operationQualifierCode, q.code_displayName AS operationQualifierName, r.targetInternalId AS actInternalId, actInternalId AS approvalInternalId, an.extension AS approvalNumber, an.root AS approvalNumberSystem, qs.subjectEntityCode AS approvalStateCode, qs.subjectEntityCodeSystem AS approvalStateCodeSystem, qs.effectivetime_low AS approvalEffectiveTimeLow, qs.effectivetime_high AS approvalEffectiveTimeHigh, qs.statusCode AS approvalStatusCode, qs.code_code AS licenseCode, agencyId.extension AS agencyId, agencyName.trivialName AS agencyName FROM reports.DocumentInformation q LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT * FROM reports.DocumentInformationSubject WHERE participationTypeCode = 'AUT') qs USING(documentInternalId, actInternalId) INNER JOIN integrator.ActRelationship r ON( r.sourceInternalId = actInternalId AND r.typeCode = 'SUBJ') LEFT OUTER JOIN integrator.Act_id an USING(actInternalId) LEFT OUTER JOIN integrator.Entity_id agencyId ON(agencyId.entityInternalId = otherEntityInternalId) LEFT OUTER JOIN reports.BestName agencyName ON(agencyName.entityInternalId = otherEntityInternalId) WHERE q.classCode = 'CNTRCT' AND q.moodCode = 'EVN' AND q.code_codeSystem = '2.16.840.1.113883.3.26.1.1' ) q USING(documentInternalId, actInternalId) WHERE classCode = 'ACT' AND moodCode = 'DEF' AND code_codeSystem = '2.16.840.1.113883.3.26.1.1' AND participationTypeCode IN ('PPRF','PRF'); You see that the expressions are all just equal operations, some IN, nothing outlandish. Now I will try what Tom Lane suggested. Here you go. And I have it stopped at this state, so if you want me to inspect anything else, I can do it. With screen(1) I can be
sure I won't lose my stuff when my internet goes down. Nice. I have one screen
session with 3 windows:
Now I have let this run
for a good long time while setting up my screen stuff. And then: ps -x look for the postgres
job with the EXPLAIN ... that's $PID, then: gdb -p $PID Then first I do cont but then it stops at
SIGUSR1, because of the parallel workers signalling each other. handle SIGUSR1 nostop suppresses that
stopping. Then I break CTRL-C, and set the breakpoint where Tom
Lane said: b AllocSetAlloc once it stops there I do Breakpoint 1, AllocSetAlloc (context=0x1168230, size=8) at aset.c:715 715 { (gdb) p context->name $4 = 0x96ce5b "ExecutorState" So I should even be able

is, am I at the place where memory gets squeezed? And I think yes.
