Hello. After looking at my DBMS server for some time I've understood that I don't understand what was going on... A server has 48 GB RAM. shared_buffers is set to 12GB, work_mem - to 32MB, pgbouncer in transaction mode is used to connect pool (pool size 80) to PostgreSQL 10.5 server. I see that at some point several postgresql backends start consuming about 16 GB RAM. If we account for shared_buffers, it meens 4 GB RAM for private backend memory. How can we achieve such numbers? I don't see any long-running (or complex) queries (however, there could be long-running transactions and queries to large partitioned tables). But how could they consume 512* work_mem memory?
