Hi.

Every now and then I get following error message. It seems that it happens more or less randomly...I guess the reason is that some transaction log is filled.

How can I prevent this?

[Err] ERROR: Too many updates/deletes within transaction (cmin). Reader gang not able to provide correct visibility 1/1 (combocid.c:275) (seg6 slice1 xback2-3:50003 pid=28899)
CONTEXT: SQL statement "CREATE TABLE profilointi.group_names AS SELECT group_id FROM profilointi.vtj_profilointi_results_filled WHERE group_id IS NOT NULL GROUP BY group_id"
PL/pgSQL function "petri_profilointia_create_table" line 14 at SQL statement

BR,
Petri

[ blink... ] There is no such error message anywhere in the Postgres
sources. I suppose you are running somebody's heavily-modified version.
You had better take this up with that somebody.

Google tells me this was in Greenplum's 3.2 release notes:

Resolved Issues in 3.2 -

3164 Too many updates/deletes within transaction error in serializable
transactions

In 3.1.1.4 and later, certain serializable transactions containing
function calls or TRUNCATE commands would fail with the error: ERROR:
Too many updates/deletes within transaction..
