I'm going to guess that it is the invalidation messages for all the DDL that is causing the memory allocation error. If you set wal_level = minimal then this might work. The total number indicates you are using too many partitions and should probably lower that by a factor of about 100. If you do that, you probably won't need to set wal_level. -- Simon Riggs http://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
