I have a PostgreSQL 9.0/9.2 which from time to time hits some memory issues.
I know the best approach is to monitor the DB performance and activity but
in the log files I see error messages similar to:

memory
      2 tm:2013-05-18 11:21:58.274 UTC db:VCDB pid:29515 DETAIL:  Failed on
request of size 40.

I've searched around for some documentation/books/posts on that topic but I
failed to find detailed info what's TopMemoryContext, TopTransactionContext,
CurTransactionContext etc. and how those values can be translated.

Can someone point to a book or documentation which might be helpful?

Thanks!
