Postgres vector computation. ERROR: row is too big: size 16392, maximum size 8160
Database version: Postgres 10.3
OS: CentOS 7
Recently, I have been looking at Postgres VOPS. When I used the populate function of VOPS to convert data from the primitive data type table to the VOPS data type table, I got the the following error prompt:
select populate(destination:='vops_table'::regclass, source:='std_table'::regclass)
ERROR: row is too big: size 16392, maximum size 8160
The data type of my primitive data type table is int2 int4 int8 float4, with 64 fields, and 27,855 rows in total.
When I run SELECT pg_column_size(t.*) FROM std_table AS t; the minimal result is 122, and the maximum result is 240, averaged at 157.52.
Please can anyone tell me how I can solve this problem?
P.S.: 1) I searched on the internet and someone said that the Postgres data block size is 8 Kb. Does the problem have something to do with this size limit? If so, how can I increase the data block size?
2) Do the “blocks” of a database and the “pages” of an operating system refer to the same thing? I tried to set hugePage in CentOS 7 and huge_pages = on in the postgresql.conf file of Postgre.
After I restarted the VOPS extension and executed the populate function, the error persisted.
