Hi All, I am having multiple postgresql 7.3(pretty old version now) on rhel4 servers. I am getting the error MemoryContextAlloc: invalid request size on many of these servers from time to time. On crawling through net, I have found that its because of some bad word value in a variable length field which implies database corruption. A possible solution to recover database is by deleting the corrupted row and then continuing till all the bad rows are deleted. My Queries: 1) What is the root cause? Why database is getting corrupted. 2) Is any newer version or patch can take care of this issue. 3) Any other solution for the same that can update the corrupted data.
