Re: PostgreSQL service terminated by query

Thanks for the suggestion Richard.

I dumped the two tables in question and restored them which got the query
working for a while until it eventually crashed the service again at
another gid. I'll do a RAM check tonight.
I transferred the whole database to another computer and so far the query
is working without issues.

Government men in black will be knocking on your door soon. ;-)

Cheers

Adrian

This is a Windows memory-related error. It might be due to a library
problem, bad RAM or a corrupted pointer in the database table itself.

1. Can you reliably produce the error with this specific gid?
2. Can you dump the database (or perhaps just the tables in question)?

If we can't find any problems in the database itself and you can spare
the downtime, it may be worth running a RAM checker overnight.

Oh no, too late!
