At the moment, all guids are distinct, however before I zapped the duplicates, there were 280 duplicates.
Currently, there are over 2 million distinct guids.

Hi Pavel,What kind of example do you need? I cant give you the actual data I have in the table, but I can give you an example query and the schema attached below. From there, I would just put in 2 million rows worth 1.2 Gigs of data. Average size of the the extended columns (using the pg_column_size function) in bytes are:guid: 33name: 2.41currency: 4fields: 120.32example query:-- find duplicate records using a guidselect guid, array_agg(id) from orders group by guid;
how much distinct guid is there, and how much duplicates
??regards
Pavel

When using array_agg on a large table, memory usage seems to spike up until Postgres crashes with the following error:2013-08-17 18:41:02 UTC [2716]: [2] WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process
2013-08-17 18:41:02 UTC [2716]: [3] DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.
2013-08-17 18:41:02 UTC [2716]: [4] HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command.
I've definitely isolated it down to using array_agg, as when I changed the query to use string_agg, it worked fine. I also tried using array_agg on a few different queries, all yielding the same issue. Swapping in string_agg fixed the issue once more.
This particular table has over 2 million rows and is 1.2 Gigs, and when I ran the query while viewing htop, the virtual size of the Postgres process ballooned to 13.9G until crashing.The version of Postgres I am using is: PostgreSQL 9.2.4 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.7.2-2ubuntu1) 4.7.2, 64-bitAny help would be much appreciated, thanks!
