Re: Excessive memory used for INSERT

Hi,


I guess the memory consumption is depending on the size of my database, so
only giving a reduced version of it won't allow to hit the issue.

The pg_dumpall file of my database can be found at the address
https://gerb.oma.be/owncloud/public.php?service=files&t=5e0e9e1bb06dce1d12c95662a9ee1c03

The queries causing the issue are given in files
-  tmp.OqOavPYbHa (with the new upsert_func function)
-  tmp.f60wlgEDWB (with WITH .. AS statement)

I hope it will help. Thanks.


Regards,


A.
