Re: "out of memory" error

Rachel,

Most likely your data set coming back is too large to process all at
once. You need to set the fetch size on the statement to control the
number of records coming back per request for them.

ps.setFetchSize( 100 ); where ps is a prepared statement. The result
set will use a cursor to only bring back 100 records at a time and will
automatically fetch the next hundred until the entire result set has
been brought back.

Make sure that your JDBC statements don't have a semi colon at the end
of them otherwise the setFetchSize will be ignored and the entire result
set will be returned at once.
