I've tried to explore the issue a bit more using 9.2.1. Here's a trace of the build and dump tests ...
tar zxf postgresql-9.2.1.tar.gz
cd postgresql-9.2.1
uname -a
AIX sx1190a 1 6 000A707AD400 powerpc AIX
export OBJECT_MODE=64
export CFLAGS="-maix64"
export LDFLAGS="-maix64 -Wl,-bbigtoc"
export AR="ar -X64"
./configure --prefix=/opt/serviceMonitoring/postgres_9.2.1 --disable-thread-safety
make
cd contrib
make
cd ..
make install
cd contrib
make install
Check to see if a dumpall will work ...
cd /tmp
"/opt/serviceMonitoring/postgres_9.2.1/bin/pg_dumpall" --port 65432 --username "postgres" --schema-only
--binary-upgrade-f pg_upgrade_dump_all.sql
pg_dump: out of memory
pg_dumpall: pg_dump failed on database "cahoot_monitoring", exiting
... try something less ambitious ...
"/opt/serviceMonitoring/postgres_9.2.1/bin/pg_dump" --port 65432 --username "postgres" --verbose --schema-only
--binary-upgrade-f dump.out template1
pg_dump: reading schemas
pg_dump: reading user-defined tables
pg_dump: reading extensions
pg_dump: reading user-defined functions
pg_dump: reading user-defined types
pg_dump: reading procedural languages
pg_dump: reading user-defined aggregate functions
pg_dump: out of memory
Has anyone else seen this problem on AIX or elsewhere ?
