Hello, PG: 8.2.7 (then upgraded to 8.2.9 to try and resolve with same result) Linux 2.6.25 Our selects which have run normally for a very long time suddenly started: - consuming all memory. - crashing (oom) if the select was run directly. - producing "out of balance" results in one of the column results if run from within a function. In an effort to resolve, I upgraded to 8.2.9, which yielded the same results. VACUUM [full analyze] on the db or suspect table resulted in same as above. Eventually, I tried reindexing the table, which also failed as above. The workaround was to manually drop each index from the offending table, then re-create them. The weird "out of balance" message in one of the column results (ie, instead of 'bob' as a result for that column, it would simply be "out of balance"). Sorry I can't provide more detail since this happened yesterday as we're preparing for the month-end billing run (and getting things back online was critical).... :-( Regards Henry
