Keep in mind every process could use as much as work_mem and actually it's possible to use that much several times over. Also, what is your maintenance_work_mem and do you have many vacuums or other such commands running at the time? 1,000 processes is a large number of processes. You may be better off re-architecting to run fewer processes simultaneously. But if that's not possible you'll have to keep it in mind to tune other things properly. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org/
