v10.7 is available; could you upgrade ?

What are these set to ? shared_buffers? work_mem?

Was postgres locally compiled, packaged by distribution, or PGDG RPM/DEB ?

Can you show \d businessoperation ?

Could you rerun the query with \set VERBOSITY verbose to show the file/line
that's failing ?

If you wanted to show a stack trace, you could attach gdb to PID from SELECT
pg_backend_pid(), "b"reak on errdetail, run the query, and then "bt" when it
fails.
