(I haven't read the script) Well, it *shouldn't* be a problem, but what it looks like to me is that Stefan's perl version is somehow leaking one copy of the whole $data structure each time through the loop. If we were to copy and then modify each row individually, maybe that'd dodge the bug. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
