Thanks for your reply. Actually I had already changed the sizeof()s.. Not sure of the actual error, postmaster just dies: NOTICE: Didn't find 9 -- good NOTICE: about to extract object at key 0 (extra notice added by me) LOG: server process (PID 55483) was terminated by signal 11: Segmentation fault Wondering if it was just me..? ----- Original Message ---- From: Tom Lane <tgl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: Jay Flattery <jaycode@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wed, August 4, 2010 3:46:24 PM Subject: Re: hashtable issue - HASH_FIND??

I think the "palloc(sizeof(key))" bits ought to be "palloc(sizeof(*key))" ... or personally I'd have used sizeof(HashKey). Although offhand it looks like that should be the same size or larger, so it doesn't seem to explain a crash. Where's the crash happening exactly? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
