You have 29 indexes on a table with 6 columns?
But only 32000 rows?

etc.
OK, so you have 29 different functional indexes which use your columns
and then a fixed parameter. Looks odd to me, but I suppose you might
have good reason.
Oh - and it's not necessarily saving you any disk space - the index
values need to be stored.

Do you have a table/view called pssms in your search-path? Because
that's what the error is about. Might it be a case-sensitive issue - do
you have a table called PSSMS instead?

For what reason? I still don't see any out-of-memory errors.
