Vladimir Zamiussky ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 1 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description Backend crash on query with UNION subselect Long Description There are two nearly identical tables, differ from each other by the length of corresponding fields of type CHARACTER (one has CHARACTER(20) field, other has CHARACTER(30) field). when i do "select * from table1 union select * from table2" backend crashes with message: FATAL 1: Memory exhausted in AllocSetAlloc() pqReadData() -- backend closed channel unexpectadly. This probably means the backend terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. When char fileds have the same size, crash does not occur. This bug takes place on 7.0.2 and 7.0.3 versions Sample Code create table pipe_alarms( dtime timestamp default now(), pipe_name char(30), alarm_name char(30) ); create table gauge_alarms( dtime timestamp default now(), gauge_name char(20), alarm_name char(30) ); insert into pipe_alarms(pipe_name,alarm_name) values('Pipe 1','LEAK'); insert into pipe_alarms(pipe_name,alarm_name) values('Pipe 2','No leaks'); insert into gauge_alarms(gauge_name,alarm_name) values('sensor_1','OverLimit'); insert into gauge_alarms(gauge_name,alarm_name) values('sensor_2','OverLimit'); insert into gauge_alarms(gauge_name,alarm_name) values('sensor_3','OverLimit'); select * from gauge_alarms union all select * from pipe_alarms No file was uploaded with this report
