ora2pg out of memory error - after every table

when I try to export data, it runs out of memory, regardless of table size (even empty tables.)

Out of memory!            ]    162926/498508267 rows (0.0%) on total estimated data (14 sec., avg: 11637 recs/sec)

Solution

  • Asking the author, I got this response:

    You don't have enough memory. If you can't increase the memory size than reduce the value of DATA_LIMIT in ora2pg.conf. Try with 5000 and if it doesn't works use 2500.

    Opened ./config/ora2pg.conf and modfied set DATA_LIMIT 5000 solved the issue.

    I originally tried to add more RAM, but only doubled it from 2GB to 4GB, it did not help. Reducing the DATA_LIMIT was the solution.
