Dear Mr. Tom Lane,
From what I've read from the postgresql.conf file I've understood that
which each unit increasing of the "max_locks_per_transaction" parameter the
shared memory used is also increased.
But the shared memory looks to be already fully consumed according to the
error message, or is the error message irrelevant and improper in this
situation?
With best regards,
Sorin

If you have transactions that touch many of them within one transaction,
then yup, you could be out of locktable space. Try increasing
max_locks_per_transaction.
