I have come across an annoying problem.
I have made a system and now users are telling me that it is giving them the message:
Out of memory (Needed 268435427 bytes)
The entire database is 12MB in size and the query that is having the problem has ran fine for several months and isn’t really that complex or large.
The database is innodb. My server has 24GB of ram so I seriously doubt it is actually out of memory.
my.cnf is as follows:
key_buffer = 8000M
max_allowed_packet = 1M
table_cache = 2048M
sort_buffer_size = 1M
net_buffer_length = 1024M
read_buffer_size = 1M
read_rnd_buffer_size = 24M
innodb_log_file_size = 5M
innodb_log_buffer_size = 8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 1
innodb_lock_wait_timeout = 50
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1024M
innodb_additional_mem_pool_size = 2M
max_connections = 100
query_cache_size = 128M
query_cache_min_res_unit = 1024
query_cache_limit = 16MB
thread_cache_size = 100
max_heap_table_size = 4096MB
When looking in windows task manager I am seeing 18.8GB available but with only 100MB free. It is Windows 2008 64bit Server, could this be the source of the problem?
Here is the query:

If I try setting PHP execution memory above 3.5GB Apache wont start (I’m using xampp). I must be using a 32-bit version of PHP? This is the same for the INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE, which I would like to be 14GB, but mysql won’t start if I do that.
I don’t think that this is a database related problem becouse this kind of error (Out of memory (Needed 268435427 bytes)) most of the time throwed by PHP (infinite loop or something similar is maybe the problem).
