My update looks like:
UPDATE tablename SET intfield = 2 WHERE keyfield IN( ... )
If I lowered the number of items in the IN() then I didn't get the error, but what that
number is is a moving target. 205 used to work a few minutes ago, but now 200 doesn't
work. A vaccuum seems to help matters. In previous versions of postgres I was able to do
up to 10000.
I tried to make a simple test with a table with 10000 entries, but that had no problems.
Maybe I would need a bigger table.
