Hi,

We have an IBM System x3850 machine running on RHEL 4.5 Cluster Suite
with high-availability enabled. During a huge delete process, PostgreSQL
(8.3.1) exhausts available memory and receives an OOM kill.

  $ /srv/usr/bin/psql -e -f ~/schemas/working/test_1_5_1_0-schema-delete-bogus-2-20080625.sql 1_5_1_0_20080625
  ...
  DELETE FROM mudailyreportlog
        WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
                            FROM mobileunit
                           WHERE mobileunit.muid = mudailyreportlog.muid);
  DELETE 0
  DELETE FROM mudistancelog
        WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
                            FROM mobileunit
                           WHERE mobileunit.muid = mudistancelog.muid);
  psql:/home/postgres/schemas/working/test_1_5_1_0-schema-delete-bogus-2-20080625.sql:16: server closed the connection
unexpectedly
          This probably means the server terminated abnormally
          before or while processing the request.
  psql:/home/postgres/schemas/working/test_1_5_1_0-schema-delete-bogus-2-20080625.sql:16: connection to server was lost

Above "DELETE FROM mudistancelog ..." query runs for nearly 1 hour and
then causes PostgreSQL to receive an OOM kill. mudistancelog is a table
of size ~11GiG. And below is the execution plan of the DELETE statement.

  Seq Scan on mudistancelog  (cost=0.00..1730580560.83 rows=104441936 width=6)
    Filter: (NOT (subplan))
    SubPlan
      ->  Index Scan using pk_mobileunit_muid on mobileunit  (cost=0.00..8.27 rows=1 width=0)
            Index Cond: (muid = $0)

Here are the related PostgreSQL log lines.

I've attached my postgresql.conf and related /var/log/messages
parts. (Server has a memory and swap space of size 8GiG.) What might be
causing this problem? How can I configure postgresql.conf to avoid such
situations? Any kind of help will be really appreciated.


Regards.

# PostgreSQL configuration file
# -----------------------------
#
# This file consists of lines of the form:
#
#   name = value
#
# (The "=" is optional.)  Whitespace may be used.  Comments are introduced with
# "#" anywhere on a line.  The complete list of parameter names and allowed
# values can be found in the PostgreSQL documentation.
#
# The commented-out settings shown in this file represent the default values.
# Re-commenting a setting is NOT sufficient to revert it to the default value;
# you need to reload the server.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the server receives a SIGHUP
# signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have to SIGHUP the
# server for the changes to take effect, or use "pg_ctl reload".  Some
# parameters, which are marked below, require a server shutdown and restart to
# take effect.
#
# Any parameter can also be given as a command-line option to the server, e.g.,
# "postgres -c log_connections=on".  Some paramters can be changed at run time
# with the "SET" SQL command.

# - Where to Log -

#log_destination = 'stderr'        # Valid values are combinations of
                    # stderr, csvlog, syslog and eventlog,
                    # depending on platform.  csvlog
                    # requires logging_collector to be on.

# This is used when logging to stderr:
logging_collector = on            # Enable capturing of stderr and csvlog
                    # into log files. Required to be on for

                    # But such truncation only occurs on
                    # time-driven rotation, not on restarts
                    # or size-driven rotation.  Default is
