And more to the point, work_mem*hash_mem_multiplier is *also* limited to 2GB. We didn't think that through very carefully. The point of the hash_mem_multiplier feature was to allow hash aggregation to still consume more than the work_mem limit, but we failed to free it from this 2GB limit. You're right though that this is Windows-only; on machines with 64-bit "long" there's less of a problem. regards, tom lane
