I am having this problem with multiple queries however I am confident that a fair number may involve the custom plpython "normalise" function which I have made myself. I didn't think it would be complicated enough to produce a memory problem.. here it is:
-- Normalises common address words (i.e. 'Ground' maps to 'grd')
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION normalise(s text) RETURNS text AS $$
ADDR_FIELD_DELIM = ' '
# Returns distinct list without null or empty elements
def distinct_str(list):
seen = set()
return [x for x in list if x not in seen and not seen.add(x) and x!=None and len(x)>0]
# normalise common words in given address string
def normalise(match_data):
if match_data==None: return ''
import re
# Tokenise
toks = distinct_str(re.split(r'\s', match_data.lower()))
out = ''

Here's the create script for the table from pgAdmin (I hope that will be good enough instead of \d as I can't do that right now)..
-- Table: nlpg.match_data
-- DROP TABLE nlpg.match_data;
CREATE TABLE nlpg.match_data
(
premise_id integer,
usrn bigint,
org text,
sao text,
"level" text,
pao text,
"name" text,
street text,
town text,
pc postcode,
postcode text,
match_data_id integer NOT NULL DEFAULT nextval('nlpg.match_data_match_data_id_seq1'::regclass),
addr_str text,
tssearch_name tsvector,
CONSTRAINT match_data_pkey1 PRIMARY KEY (match_data_id)
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);
ALTER TABLE nlpg.match_data OWNER TO postgres;
ALTER TABLE nlpg.match_data ALTER COLUMN "name" SET STATISTICS 10000;
-- Index: nlpg.index_match_data_mid

CREATE INDEX index_match_data_usrn

As you can see, no FKs or triggers..
I am running: EXPLAIN ANALYZE UPDATE nlpg.match_data SET org = org;
However, as it should take around 90mins (if it is linear) then I thought I would send this now and follow up with the results once it finishes. (Has taken 2hours so far..)
Thanks very much for your help.

the conversation, especially since I know almost nothing about tuning
PostgreSQL installed on Windows.
Are there multiple queries having this problem? The original query didn't
have normalise() in it, and I would be highly suspicious that a custom
function may have a memory leak or other memory-intensive side-effects.
What is the code for that function?
For example, does:
UPDATE nlpg.match_data SET org = org WHERE match_data_id;
finish in a reasonable amount of time or exhibit the same out of memory
problem?
It'd be nice to see a \d on that table ... does it have any triggers or
cascading foreign keys?
And stop
