Hi,

I'm passing rows from SAS to PostgreSQL (I assign a libname and use a PROC 
APPEND).  This works fine with smaller tables (~below 1 million rows).  
However, as tables get larger I receive the following error messages:


"ERROR: CLI describe error: Out of memory while reading tuples.; No query has been 
executed with that handle"
and
"GLOBAL SYSDBMSG POSTGRES: Out of memory while reading tuples.; No query has 
been executed with that handle
GLOBAL SYSDBRC HY000"

I've tried to change memory settings on the PostgreSQL server, but can't solve 
the problem.  As far as I could understand—I'm new to PostgreSQL ;)—it seems 
that PostgreSQL want to somehow read information on the whole table before 
processing it and this behavior could eventually be switched off, but I might 
be wrong here.

FYI:
- I run SAS 9.4 on a windows machine.
- I run PostgreSQL server on a MAC: PostgreSQL 9.3.5 on 
x86_64-apple-darwin12.5.0, compiled by Apple LLVM version 5.1, 64-bit
   I've Pgadmin 1.18.1 installed.

Any help would be much appreciated!!

THANKS!


PS: For several reasons, I cannot use the bulkload feature in SAS for this job.



That error is coming from SAS, not PG.  SAS must have pretty bad documentation because 
when I google "GLOBAL SYSDBRC HY000" there is pretty much nothing.  (Also, I've 
never used, or even heard of SAS.  At first I thought you meant serial attached scsi)

Does SAS support a cursor of some kind?
