Hi Neel and PgAdmin,
Finally, I have come back on this issue now. Thank you Neel for replying. I
tried to reproduce this issue in debug mode in the first time, but it then
got passed. Now, in the second time, I am able to reproduce this error in
DEBUG modes. Before I showed you the logs, let me briefly describe what the
PgAgent job is doing.
PgAgent Job Description: I want to periodically synchronize a few tables
stored in MySQL to PostgreSQL. Now I am using mysql_fdw FDW plugin to let
Postgres talk to MySQL. I wrote a few stored procedures for each one of
those tables in order to pull, index and rename new tables and delete old
tables. These functions worked when I ran them without PgAgent. Since these
databases are proprietary to our company, I am sorry that I am not able to
make a test case for reproduction, but, as you can imagine, they are simple
functions except that one or two have 10M+ records but I do not think it
will be an issue in this case.
In this PgAgent Job, I have three steps: 1st step is calling 4 functions to
synchronize 4 tables; 2nd step is calling 1 function to synchronize a large
table named as "md_location", and 3rd step is to vacuum and analyze those
tables. The problem
The problem happened at the beginning of the 2nd step.
