Morning,
I have multiple databases running on a Solaris 9, PostgreSQL 7.3.2
system and nightly I run a process that, for each database, performs
first a "VACUUM ANALYZE;" then runs the vacuumlo on the same database.
The problem is that the "VACUUM ANALYZE;" results in a
ERROR: Memory exhausted in AllocSetAlloc(1048575996)
The (1048575996) doesn't change regardless of the database that the
vacuum is running on. Additionally, our tables in all of our databases
are reindexed every 6 hours.
That's the problem.
My current workaround is prior to the "VACUUM ANALYZE;" I drop all
indexes to all non-system, non-postgres tables, then perform the
vacuum on each non-system, non-postgres table, and finally recreate
the indexes. The reindex every 6 hours is currently disabled as well.
This is the only solution I have to date.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Greg
