Re: Invalid memory alloc request size

This was answered on the list last time you asked it. You are exceeding a maximum buffer size. There was an implication that it was related to converting a string from one encoding to another that could maybe be alleviated by using the same encoding in both client and server, but a more reliable solution is probably breaking your sql file into smaller pieces (or, perhaps even better would be bulk-loading the data via COPY, assuming that isn't subject to the same buffer size limitation ). I suppose you could investigate recompiling postgresql with a larger buffer, though that is likely to have side effects that i certainly can't predict.
