Description

Issue:
I have my layer 'footprints2017' in a PostGIS table. (image1)
I then select a number of the footprints. Here 28.453 footprints (image1)
image1
I then right-click and save-as. Choose only to save selected features. Then press OK. (image2)
image2
This immediately returns a empty file. (image3)
image3
If I only save a small number of features... no problem, but once I reach the tens of thousands if returns empty shapefiles.

1) please provide a dump of your table
2) use a full path in output name instead of just "temp".

Cannot replicate here, not even with very large data (just saved this way a 1gb shp from postgis).

Thank you for the fast reply!

Have tried using full path.
I am not certain what you mean by 'dump of your table'. please specify.
The 'footprint2017' table is several GB when stored locally as a shapefile, can't really upload the whole thing. The 'temp' file is just empty.

And just for added information. We are 6 people using QGIS in the office and all six of us have this issue when trying to save more than ~10.000 features from our various databases.

I mean a backup of the table create with the "pg_dump" tool, so we can restore it here locally and try to replicate the issue. Likely you will have to use an external service to link it here, as there is a 5mb limit for attachments.

understand, but I also said that here there are no issues in saving multiple gb vectors (to shape, geopackage, etc.) on different platforms (linux, windows) using postgis data as sources.

Before i start with the pg_dump I just noticed this;

When attempting to save i get the following
Log message panel message for PostGIS panel:

Any info on how I increase the 'max_stack_depth'? Googling I only found a entry in french :)

Hi,
See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/runtime-config-resource.html

I think you have issues with your postgresql.conf. Maybe you can share it (though this is not a QGIS specific issue)?

  • Resolution set to invalid
  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed

Reopen if by chance you find that this is really a QGIS issue (which at the moment does not seems the case).
