Hello.
I'm getting an Out Of Memory error when I try to create a GiST index on
a geometry column (PostGIS) with approximately 33,000,000 rows. I can
truncate the data in the table, create the GiST index on the empty
table, but when I try to reload the data via pg_restore I get the error.
I get the error also if I try creating the GiST index on the table with
the 33,000,000 rows.
Are there limitations with the GiST index? Has anyone seen this?
I seem to remember mention of memory-leak fixes being applied to the
GiST code not too long back - might be worth checking the archives for
the bug/hackers list.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
