Core dump on select from psql on AIX 5.x
I have the following task at hand -
A huge table, one of the column data has duplicated entries. I want to find
those duplicated records in this column -
select count(*), col-x from table-x group by col-x having count(*) >1;
Of course, the above query will produce a core!! My question is: is there a
smart way in postgresql to solve this problem? Could I avoid this core dump
issue if I use pgplsql?

My guess is that one of these -- likely the first -- is biting you.
What isn't clear to me is whether you're getting core from the
postmaster or psql itself. I've seen the latter pretty frequently,
but there is a current segfault problem with AIX 5.1 at least.

I remember when computers were frustrating because they *did* exactly what
you told them to. That actually seems sort of quaint now.
