Re: ERROR: out of shared memory

Dear Mr. Tom Lane,

Thank you very much for your answer.
It seems that the legacy application creates tables dynamically and the
number of the created tables depends on the size of the input of the
application. For the specific input which generated that error I've
estimated a number of created tables of about 4000. 
Could be this the problem?

With best regards,
Sorin

AFAIK the only very likely way to cause that is to touch enough
different tables in one transaction that you run out of lock entries.
While you could postpone the problem by increasing the
max_locks_per_transaction setting, I suspect there may be some basic
application misdesign involved here.  How many tables have you got?
