"PostgreSQL 8.2.4 on i386-pc-solaris2.10, compiled by
GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-branch+sol_rpath)"
Week-old install....still tuning and tweaking this
thing.
Over last 2 days, have spotted 10 "Out of Memory"
errors in postgres logs (never saw before with same
app/usage patterns on tuned hardware/postgres under
FreeBSD)
Aug 22 18:08:24 db-1 postgres[16452]: [ID 748848
local0.warning] [6-1] 2007-08-22 18:08:24 CDT ERROR:
out of memory.
Aug 22 18:08:24 db-1 postgres[16452]: [ID 748848
local0.warning] [6-2] 2007-08-22 18:08:24 CDT
DETAIL: Failed on request of size 536870910.
What I found interesting is that It's ALWAYS the same
size....536870910
I am running autovacuum and slony.....but I see
nothing in the logs anywhere near the "out of memory"
errors related to either (autovacuum used to under
8.0.X log INFO messages every time it vacuumed which
came in handy...I assume it doesn't so this any more?)
The events are fairly spread out...and cannot (by
looking at app logs and rest of DB logs) correlate to
any specific query or activity.
Any help would be appreciated
