core dump on select
AIX pg version 7.4
Select * from document2 core dump. Did a few more experiments with select *
from document2 limit...
I limit to 500000 it works, 600000 it exits but says "calloc: There is not
enough memory available now."
I did a 573600 and it worked, then I did a 573700 and it core dumped. I
went back in and did the search again with 573700 and it then worked.
AIX:
core file size (blocks) 1048575
data seg size (kbytes) unlimited
file size (blocks) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) 32768
open files 2000
pipe size (512 bytes) 64
stack size (kbytes) 2097151
cpu time (seconds) unlimited
max user processes 1000
virtual memory (kbytes) unlimited
Any thoughts on this? And how to generate the trace?
Thanks.

My guess is that one of these -- likely the first -- is biting you.
What isn't clear to me is whether you're getting core from the
postmaster or psql itself. I've seen the latter pretty frequently,
but there is a current segfault problem with AIX 5.1 at least.

Core dump on select from psql on AIX 5.x
I have the following task at hand -
A huge table, one of the column data has duplicated entries. I want to find
those duplicated records in this column -
select count(*), col-x from table-x group by col-x having count(*) >1;
Of course, the above query will produce a core!! My question is: is there a
smart way in postgresql to solve this problem? Could I avoid this core dump
issue if I use pgplsql?

Do you really have that many duplicated rows? You're still not saying
if the core dump is in the client or in the server. If it's in the
client, do a SELECT INTO and then browse a limited portion from
there...
