Oh? Postgres doesn't spell its out-of-memory errors that way. Please quote the *exact* message you got, not some approximation. Also, if this was a server-side out-of-memory problem, there should be a memory usage dump appearing in the postmaster log, which would help identify exactly what the problem is. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
