Dear All,

I am having a backup file in tar format. While restoring it through
pg_restore instantly i am getting an following error.
*Command - pg_restore -d cipa
/cipa/RAJASTHAN/RAJASTHAN/CIPABACKUP01_08_2008.TAR
Error - pg_restore: [archiver] out of memory
*I have increased shmmax , maintenace work memory but still i am
getting the same error.

2. I have make all log_parameter to debug5 but still getting a single
error -line while restoring not getting any log or debug info about it.

Kindly help me out from this absurd behaviour of postgreSQL
restoration process.
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanx in advance

Please do not cross-post to multiple lists like this. (Also, adding
addresses of individual hackers is not good netiquette). The -hackers
list is quite inappropriate for usage questions.

It looks like the problem you have is that the client is running out of
memory, so changing the server's memory settings seems unlikely to have
any beneficial effect. Maybe you need to look at your ulimit settings.

Thanx for info I will take care of it in future.

I have tried with all ulimit settings but still getting the same error. I am
trying to restore this ba ckup at server side on so i tried with
shared_buffer and shmmax,

Why this error occured as the same backup day one before it is restoring
fine but this particular is not getting restored.

Hope for getting any resolution.
