Re: plsql gets "out of memory"

Hi Kevin,

Thank you very much for the quick and detailed answers/suggestions. I
will check and try them.

I forgot to mention synchronous_commit is already off and I will test
with full_page_writes off.

yes, will check that.

hmm....I will try to turn autovacuum off though I didn't see any
resource intension caused by it.

I have mysql run on the server. The memory above is just for the import
for pgsql. I will shutdown mysql and give the memory(32G totally) to
pgsql when I doing the performance tests.

No, I do the import locally on the db server so the network letency can
be excluded.
