  1. 7.4.2 out of memory

    Jie Liang <jie@stbernard.com> — 2004-04-28T18:12:17Z

    All,
    After I upgraded postgres from 7.3.4 to 7.4.2, one of my program got following error:
    DRROR:	out of memory
    DETAIL:	Fail on request of size 92.
    
    any idea??
    does memory management have big difference between 7.3.4 and 7.4.2???
    this program using a chunk of share memory and a lot of temp tables.
    
    
    Thanks.

    More than likely this is a hash aggregate problem (or can they spill to 
    disk in 7.4.2 yet?  I don't think they can, but maybe we should ask Tom.
    
    Try setting this before running the query and see what happens:
    
    set enable_hashagg = false;
