The perfect forum for oracle_fdw questions is here:
http://lists.pgfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/oracle-fdw-general
Which PostgreSQL version are you using?
What are the commands you ran?
How much memory has the machine got, how much
is reserved for PostgreSQL and what are your memory related settings?
How big does the resident memory of the backend process grow
before you get the error?
I tried on Linux with a table with 10^6 records and more than 1GB
of data, and I didn't encounter this problem; memory usage stopped
growing after a certain point (slightly more than shared_buffers).
There is no binary build for 64-bit Windows because I don't have such
a machine. I'd publish a binary if somebody builds it.
