List pgsql-interfaces

Hi Peter,

Thanks a lot. It worked : java -xmx128m my.app.classfile

So, it turned out to be the JVM  memory heap size issue - not a JdbcDriver
issue.

The resultset was really not that big !

But the jdbcDriver does have hardcoded values 8192 etc. at lot of places in the
PG_Stream, connection and other classes.

Thanks again
Anil

How big is the ResultSet?

By default the JVM alocates 64Mb of memory. To increase this, you pass the
-Xmx parameter to java, ie:

java -Xmx32m my.app.classfile

where 32m is 32Meg of memory maximum.

From SUN's docs:

-Xmsn
Specify the initial size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This
value must be a multiple of 1024 greater than 1MB. Append the letter k or K
to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. The default value is
2MB. Examples:      -Xms6291456      -Xms6144k      -Xms6m


-Xmxn
Specify the maximum size, in bytes, of the memory allocation pool. This
value must a multiple of 1024 greater than 2MB. Append the letter k or K to
indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. The default value is
64MB. Examples:      -Xmx83886080      -Xmx81920k      -Xmx80m
