Thread: out or memory error

Hi
       Does anybody have any idea on "out of memory" error while inserting into a table in psql. I was trying to test the working of my C code which adds a new data type called expression to Postgres. When I try to insert into the table which has two columns (one integer and the other expression), it gives me this error.
Here's the error:

testdb=# insert into testt values(2, 't1=5ANDt2=6');
ERROR:  out of memory
DETAIL:  Failed on request of size 1073735751

If anyone has an idea, please reply
Thanks a million

Sounds to me like a bug in your C code --- most likely, that you haven't
correctly set the length word of a variable-length value.
