Subject: trap instead of error on 32 TiB table
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2021 13:52:41 +0200
Message-ID: <YTn1iTkUYBZfcODk@msg.credativ.de> (raw)
I was wondering what happens when the 32 TiB per table limit is
reached, so I faked 32767 1 GiB sparse files using dd and then tried
inserting more rows.
On a cassert-enabled build I got:
TRAP: FailedAssertion("tagPtr->blockNum != P_NEW", File: "./build/../src/backend/storage/buffer/buf_table.c", Line: 125)
On a normal build, I got:
ERROR: cannot extend file "base/18635/53332" beyond 4294967295 blocks
ORT: mdextend, md.c:443
Shouldn't the cassert build raise the ERROR instead as well?
PostgreSQL 13.4.
