Good morning,


I've increased sort_mem until 2Go !!
and the error "out of memory" appears again.

Here the request I try to pass with her explain plan,

 Nested Loop  (cost=2451676.23..2454714.73 rows=1001 width=34)
   ->  Subquery Scan "day"  (cost=2451676.23..2451688.73 rows=1000 width=16)
         ->  Limit  (cost=2451676.23..2451678.73 rows=1000 width=12)
               ->  Sort  (cost=2451676.23..2451684.63 rows=3357 width=12)
                     Sort Key: sum(occurence)
                     ->  HashAggregate  (cost=2451471.24..2451479.63 rows=3357
width=12)
                           ->  Index Scan using test_date on
queries_detail_statistics  (cost=0.00..2449570.55 rows=380138 width=12)
                                 Index Cond: ((date >= '2006-01-01'::date) AND
(date <= '2006-01-30'::date))
                                 Filter: (((portal)::text = '1'::text) OR
((portal)::text = '2'::text))
   ->  Index Scan using query_string_pkey on query_string  (cost=0.00..3.01
rows=1 width=34)
         Index Cond: ("outer".query = query_string.id)
(11 rows)

Any new ideas ?,
thanks

MB.
