PostgreSQL version: 16.4
Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04
Description:
or maybe
PostgreSQL should include garbage collection?
Garbage collection is typically used in relation to a programming language feature to make writing applications in those languages easier. Applications themselves don’t really implement garbage collection. And C, the language PostgreSQL, is written in, doesn’t have garbage collection. To our knowledge, though, there are no significant memory leaks in supported versions.
RAMforPG = shared_buffers + (temp_buffers + work_mem) * max_connections;
The expression: work_mem * max_connections is incorrect. See the doc for work_mem for how it is used.
There is so much more info needed to conclude there is a bug here - which there probably is not. Exploring the query and tuning the system is better discussed on the -general mailing list.
