Thread: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
I am not a java programmer, so it is possible I am doing something wrong:
I saw this problem initially on my test system using sequoia jdbc driver
with my postgresql 8.1.4 database servers trying
to create an index on a 27 million row table. After many suggestions
and tests, It was suggested I try using the postgresql
jdbc driver to perform the create index to try and isolate where the out
of memory condition is occurring. So I edited a
java application I was testing with and pointed it to the postgresql
jdbc driver. I used version postgresql-.2dev-503.jdbc3.jar
the first time and postgresql-9.2dev-503.jdbc3.jar the second time with
the same results: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError:
Java heap space
Below is the java code I am using to try to do this:
**
*
*/
import java.sql.*;
/**
* @author jdavis
*
*/
public class jdbcpostgrestestcreateindex {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://10.10.101.14:3153/ange";
Connection con;
try {
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
} catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
}
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user","XXXXXXX");
con.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement s = con.createStatement();
s.setCursorName("cursor name");
s.setFetchSize(100);
String createTableIndexString = "create index
file_name_idx on catalog using btree {file_name}";
s.executeUpdate(createTableIndexString);
con.commit();
s.close();
con.close();
} catch (SQLException ex) {
System.err.print("SQLException: ");
System.err.println(ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
If this is not a bug, any hints or examples of the correct way to do
this would be appreciated.
I am unsure how to grab a stack trace, if one is needed please send me
an example and I will
be glad to add the code and re-run the test to provide that information.
Thanks,
Jim D.

I would not expect that. But i saw in your code example that you use executeUpdate for a defining sql statement. I would use just the execute method. A cursor should not be needed.

I tried to verify, if i would see any memory increase, when running the
following program on a table with about 6.6 million rows.
I used java 1.4.2_05, java 1.5.0_07, jdbc3 driver builds number 407
and 503. The database was a 7.4.13 on a Linux-box, the java program
was executed on win-2k.
There was no increase of memory requirements. The java process always
used about 10 Megabytes, running for about 1.5 minutes. The statement
had no ResultSet.
A defining sql statement does not return a ResultSet, so I do not understand
why your process died due to exhausted memory.
BTW setting a cursor name
or use of setFetchSize or not, did not change anything.

Jim, What happens when you try to do this in psql. It's possible that there are notify messages filling up memory.

Sounds like there is a bug in the driver's escape sequence parsing
somewhere then. An invalid {...} escape shouldn't cause an OOME.

Indeed. The attached patch fixes this case for me. In general the
handling of escapes that aren't correct doesn't look great and should
probably be looked at it the future. For example the fact that it only
checks the first letter of some escapes and doesn't complain if the second
isn't found doesn't look good. Anyway as gborg is down, cvs is down, so
I'll commit this one later.

Applied to 8.0, 8.1 and HEAD.
