Hi,
I'm passing rows from SAS to PostgreSQL (I assign a libname and use a PROC APPEND). This works fine with smaller tables (~below 1 million rows). However, as tables get larger I receive the following error messages:
"ERROR: CLI describe error: Out of memory while reading tuples.; No query has been executed with that handle"
and
"GLOBAL SYSDBMSG POSTGRES: Out of memory while reading tuples.; No query has been executed with that handle
GLOBAL SYSDBRC HY000"
I've tried to change memory settings on the PostgreSQL server, but can't solve the problem. As far as I could understand—I'm new to PostgreSQL ;)—it seems that PostgreSQL want to somehow read information on the whole table before processing it and this behavior could eventually be switched off, but I might be wrong here.
FYI:
- I run SAS 9.4 on a windows machine.
- I run PostgreSQL server on a MAC: PostgreSQL 9.3.5 on x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0, compiled by Apple LLVM version 5.1, 64-bit
I've Pgadmin 1.18.1 installed.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
THANKS!
PS: For several reasons, I cannot use the bulkload feature in SAS for this job.
