Subject: Query is too long
Hi!
I was using psql to insert data into the database.
I have *.sql files with the necessary scripts, eg:
insert into descritor values (4992,'MARCHAS DE LISBOA','te','cl');
After many inserts... I've got this message:
query buffer max length of 20000 exceeded
query line ignored
and then, a few inserts later, because the scritp went on...
PQsendQuery() -- query is too long. Maximum length is 8191
query buffer max length of 20000 exceeded
query line ignored
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Gdb on the core:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x401066f8 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x401066a1 in ?? () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x804e85b in MainLoop ()
#3 0x804df44 in HandleSlashCmds ()
#4 0x804e7c0 in MainLoop ()
#5 0x804ef2d in main ()
What has happened ? How can I avoid it ? Maybe using psql -f instead using
\i inside psql ?
--
Many others have the same problem.
psql -e < xxx.sql has the same problem!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Case:
----------
I think it's just a matter of creating a big sql
script and executing...
I can send mine, if you want (thousands of lines...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
I've tried to break the scripts in two. No deal... the same.
After the first piece is inserted, when I proceed to the
second sql script, even if I quit psql and enter it again,
after a few inserts, it happens again...
