Hi All -

I have been trying to drop 2000 tables using a script.
I am getting the following error message. I have the value set
for max_locks_per_transaction = 100 . Error message is as follows

WARNING: out of shared memory
ERROR: out of shared memory
HINT: You might need to increase max_locks_per_transaction.

********** Error **********

ERROR: out of shared memory
SQL state: 53200
Hint: You might need to increase max_locks_per_transaction.

is your script bracketed by BEGIN; ..... COMMIT; ?

if so, you might consider breaking it up into smaller chunks, like
BEGIN; (drop about 50 tables); COMMIT; (repeat)

That's what I did. I did it for every 500 tables . 4 chunks.. It worked

Regards
