Hi,
I saw a message a couple of weeks ago from someone having problems with
larger than 2GB tables. I have similar problems.
PostgreSQL: anon-cvs as of today (2/5/1999)
OS: Redhat Linux 5.2 (running 2.0.35)
I created a database called mcrl, and a table called mcrl3_1.
I copied in a set of 450MB of data twice(which comes to pg file size of
2.4GB or so).
When it hit 2GB I got this message: mcrl=> copy mcrl3_1 FROM '/home/gjerde/mcrl/MCR3_1.txt'; ERROR: mcrl3_1: cannot
extend
The table file looks like this:
[postgres@snowman mcrl]$ ls -l mcrl*
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres 2147482624 Feb 5 16:49 mcrl3_1
It did NOT create the .1 file however, which I did see when I tried this
on 6.4.2(but still didn't work).
I looked around in the code(specifically src/backend/storage/smgr/*.c),
but couldn't figure too much of it out. I'll have to figure out how
postgres handles the database files first..
Hope this helps,
Ole Gjerde
