Hello everybody, we've developed a function which reads a huge amount of data from postgres and, being recursive, does several memory-intensive elaborations and writes the results back on two postgres tables. No memory context switch has been done in our function.
Now we have to compare this function with another one which performs the same elaborations but reads the data from a binary file and stores the results on another file. Both of them work exactly in the same way (as we've simply ported our postgres module to work in memory) but we've noticed a rather different memory usage in the two cases. The in-memory function seems to have a lot more of memory to work on, while the postgres one stops for memory exhausted as soon as the data size increases over a certain limit. As far as we know, this could be due to the limited size of the TopMemoryContext in which the dynamically loadable modules work. Is there a way to expand the size of memory available to our function? Thanks a lot! alice and lorena ______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
