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?
AFAIK, no. Perhaps, it's PostGIS problem ? It'd be nice to build
rtree index using contrib/rtree_gist to see if problem in GiST.
Thanks.
Jim

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
