Thanks - I tracked down the offending row and deleted it. Just in case anyone wishes to know how
select * from site where id < 5000 (no error)
select * from site where id < 10000 (no error)
select * from site where id < 15000 (error)
...
select * from site where id = 12344 (no error)
select * from site where id = 12345 (error)
delete from site where id = 12345 (error)

But I will recommend doing memory tests for the hardware...

I get the following error when dumping a pg database with WIN_1252 encoding:
pg_dump --clean --no-owner dumpfile | gzip >/home/postgres/globalen.dump.gz 2>>./err.out
pg_dump: ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size 4294967293
pg_dump: SQL command to dump the contents of table "site" failed: PQendcopy() failed.
pg_dump: Error message from server: ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size 4294967293
pg_dump: The command was: COPY public.site (site_id, url, status, created, "domain", title) TO stdout;
Possibly related is a particular query with pgAdmin on same site table with above error yields
ERROR: invalid multibyte character for locale
I have upgraded from 8.1.2 to 8.1.6 but get the same error.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
David.
