Re: Out of Memory errors are frustrating as heck! - Mailing list pgsql-performance

I was able to reproduce in a somewhat contrived way:

sh -c 'ulimit -v 1024000 ; /usr/local/pgsql/bin/postgres -D ./pg12dev5 -cport=1234' &

postgres=# SET work_mem='64kB';SET client_min_messages =debug1;SET log_statement_stats=on;explain(analyze) WITH v AS
MATERIALIZED(SELECT * FROM generate_series(1,9999999)i WHERE i%10<10 AND i%11<11 AND i%12<12 AND i%13<13 AND i%14<14
ANDi%15<15 AND i%16<16 AND i%17<17 AND i%18<18 AND i%19<19 AND i%20<20 AND i%21<21 ) SELECT * FROM
generate_series(1,99)kJOIN v ON k=i;
