Re: Vacuum - Out of memory

ThanksTom. I've asked the SA to bounce the server thinking it may be a
memory fragmentation issue on the server. After bouncing the server, I
was able to run vacuum successfully. (Before bouncing the server, I
tried a lower value of maintenance_work_mem of 512MB and vacuum worked
fine which made me feel better the status of data not being corrupted).
Do you agree with me at this point that it's not a data corruption
issue? Thanks again.

Looks like a corrupt-data problem, but it's hard to tell any more than
that with only this much info. If it affects all tables then the
corruption is probably in a system catalog rather than every one of
the tables. You might try setting a breakpoint at errfinish to get
a stack trace from the point of the error; that would give us at least
a bit of a clue where the problem is.
