TUPGONE 1. > FATAL 1: Memory exhausted in AllocSetAlloc() Try not doing "analyze" --- the most likely cause of the FATAL message is that the system is trying to copy some damaged column value that claims to be ridiculously wide. If nothing else helps, you could manually zero block 3304 of the table, sacrificing those rows to get back the rest of your data. dd(1) should work for this, I think, but be sure to shut down the postmaster while hacking directly on data files. [NB: these are 8K blocks (unless you changed BLCKSZ) and the file starts with block zero.] regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
