So something like 1) select pg_backend_pid() 2) gdb -p $PID 3) run the EXPLAIN ANALYZE again 4) watch the gdb session, when it fails do 'bt' You need to install debuginfo first, so that the backtrace makes sense. regards -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
