I'm running a very large series of commands - mainly DDL but some DML as well - in a large transaction. I get the following error, which doesn't seem to be documented: "ERROR: failed to fetch old tuple for AFTER trigger : COMMIT" There are no triggers that I'm aware of. I've gotten this error when running the transaction on two different instances of the database. I also did a VACUUM FULL, which didn't help. Breaking down the commands into a series of about 7 smaller transactions works fine. Each transaction runs totally fine by itself. But, when I run them all in one giant transaction, I get errors. I'm running Postgres 8.2.1 on Windows XP. If anyone can help, I'd be very greatful.
