Hi, I'm using usually Postgres 8.4.4 (32bit) + Postgis 1.5.1 on Windows7 64bit.
Now I try-ing the last Postgres 9.0 (32bit) + Postgis 1.5.2 on the same machine (win7 64bit). I experience a crash of Postgres while it is running a huge load of data. This is the report of log. 2010-10-01 22:38:55 CEST LOG: last completed transaction was at log time 2010-10-01 22:23:51.389+02 2010-10-01 22:38:56 CEST LOG: autovacuum launcher started 2010-10-01 22:38:56 CEST LOG: database system is ready to accept connections 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST LOG: server process (PID 2540) was terminated by exception 0xC0000005 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST HINT: See C include file "ntstatus.h" for a description of the hexadecimal value. 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST LOG: terminating any other active server processes 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command. 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST WARNING: terminating connection because of crash of another server process 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST DETAIL: The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory. 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST HINT: In a moment you should be able to reconnect to the database and repeat your command. 2010-10-01 22:44:20 CEST LOG: all server processes terminated; reinitializing 2010-10-01 22:44:31 CEST FATAL: pre-existing shared memory block is still in use 2010-10-01 22:44:31 CEST HINT: Check if there are any old server processes still running, and terminate them. The tablespace where I load the data is new create from postgres9.0 After seeing this. I try load the same data load procedure (on the same windows machine) using the postgres 8.4.4 istance and all terminated without any problem. The procedure is substantially only a huge list of string sql like insert into(....) executed one by one in many tables and with autocommit.
