Hi, i have postgres 8.3 running in SCO Openserver 5.0.7

today, i had  problems to start psql, the error mesage   was: 'FATAL
Memory out, Detail: Failed on resqueted size ...' ,  and after i checked
the process  i  noticed the following:

the elder  REINDEX   had been running since Jun-21 by  35 days 12 hrs
(35-12:12:08) WTF!!!!

Well it looks like either the COPY or the VACUUM have been running since the
20th and are blocking the other processes. Is that a VACUUM FULL perhaps?

No, is a vacuum analyze.

Can  i kill  safely these process?
there is any risk to corrupt the database???

I would use pg_cancel_backend() on them. Supposed to be safe, and I've never
had corruption issues.



I will try pg_cancel_backend(). By the way, i reproduced the fail on another database and tested with kill -2 and kill -9 and, the database entered into a database recovery mode.
