I have a problem with postgres. One of my table hold about 65,000 records. If I use the simple select * on this table, the pgadmin tool hangs and the postgres throws up the following exception.
"NOTICE: Message from PostgreSQL backend: The Postmaster has informed me that some other backend died abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. I have rolled back the current transaction and am going to terminate your database system connection and exit. Please reconnect to the database system and repeat your query. server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request."
I wonder what could be wrong. I increased the the buffer size from 256 to 512. Still the same thing.
Could you kindly let me know what could be wrong and what is the resolution.
Thanks,
Naveen
