I'm having a trouble with pg_dumpall. I did a brief search of the
list archives and saw the same question asked at least two other times
in the last year, but never answered on the list.
pg_dump exits with the following error:
FATAL 1: Memory exhausted in AllocSetAlloc()
PQendcopy: resetting connection
SQL query to dump the contents of Table 'trace_hop_delay' did not
execute correctly. After we read all the table contents from the
backend, PQendcopy() failed. Explanation from backend: 'FATAL 1:
Memory exhausted in AllocSetAlloc()
'.
The query was: 'COPY "trace_hop_delay" WITH OIDS TO stdout;
'.
pg_dump failed on iperf1, exiting
The table in question is the largest in the database -- about 19
million rows of 3 ints -- and gets dumped near the end of the run. If
I execute 'COPY "trace_hop_delay" WITH OIDS TO stdout;' from psql, it
executes correctly.
Does anyone know what the cause of the problem is or how to work
around it? Is there a postgresql bug list?
