Thread: out of memory
Hello,
i have a statement which ends with
ERROR: out of memory
DETAIL: Failed on request of size 639.
i tried it several times, the number after size changes but not the outcome.
could someone tell me what information you need to tell me whats wrong?
what i have so fare is:
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.4
Linux version 2.6.16.20-0.12-bigsmp (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version
4.1.0 (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP Mon Jun 19 22:25:45 UTC 2006
the statement:
SELECT catalog_prefix, supplier_aid
, stage_1.article_data_md5(
COALESCE(src.description_short ,'')
,
COALESCE(src.description_long ,'')
, COALESCE(src.ean

) m1 USING (catalog_prefix, supplier_aid)
LEFT JOIN data.manufacturer_mapping
m2 ON (

WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT 1

WHERE isactive IS TRUE
AND root_code=(SELECT
col_root_category_id FROM quellen.cataloginfo WHERE catalog_prefix =
'root')
AND catalog_prefix=src.catalog_prefix
AND supplier_aid=src.supplier_aid
)
and the explain plan:

Do you have work_mem set to a large value? Your query plan contains
several sorts so would potentially try to use several times work_mem
... if that's more than the kernel will allow one process to have,
you would get a failure like this.
The other theory that comes to mind is that you've discovered an
intraquery memory-leak bug, but there's not nearly enough information
here to find it if so.
The out-of-memory error should result in dumping a list of memory
context statistics into the postmaster's log file --- if you can post
that information it would be helpful.

hi, thx for the hint. i decreased work_mem. its working now. the dump written in the logfile is: TopMemoryContext: 40960 total in 5 blocks; 11064 free (37 chunks); 29896 used TopTransactionContext: 8192 total in 1 blocks;
