[postgis-users] Out Of Memory Error on GiST Index

[James Cradock]

Hello.

I'm getting an Out Of Memory error when I try to create a GiST index on 
a geometry column (PostGIS) with approximately 33,000,000 rows. I can 
truncate the data in the table, create the GiST index on the empty 
table, but when I try to reload the data via pg_restore I get the 
error. I get the error also if I try creating the GiST index on the 
table with the 33,000,000 rows.

Are there limitations with the GiST index? Has anyone seen this?

Thanks.

Jim
