The customers we work with typically have data centers and are overwhelmingly Windows shops: we won the battle to deploy a complex operational system on PG vs SQLServer, but Linux vs Windows was still a bridge too far for many. I am surprised that this limitation introduced after V11 hasn't caused issues elsewhere though. Maybe it has, but you're the first to report the problem, or at least the first to report it with enough detail to trace the cause. I've pushed a fix that removes the artificial restriction on work_mem times hash_mem_multiplier; it will be in next month's 13.4 release. You'll still need to increase hash_mem_multiplier to get satisfactory performance on your workload, but at least it'll be possible to do that. regards, tom lane --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Tom, So happy to help in whatever capacity I can 😊 This is fantastic news! Can't wait to try 13.4 asap and will report back. Thank you, Laurent.
