Sure.  The SQL dialect supported by Postgres is Turing-complete, so
people can write statements that consume arbitrary amounts of RAM and
diskspace, and run for arbitrary amounts of time -- regardless of
work_mem and other settings.  (Actually, this was true even before the
dialect got to be Turing-complete).

Please don't top-post.
