I think Dave actually means "too many warnings" (or NOTICEs?) which can
indeed fill Java heap as they're accumulated as SQLWarnings attached to
the relevant Statement. In that case, though, you'd see an
OutOfMemoryError. This exception:
>>>org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: out of memory
is just the driver reporting a server-side error, so it's the server
that's run out of memory in this case.
