Method Detail

createStreamingStatement

public static java.sql.Statement createStreamingStatement(java.sql.Connection conn,
                                                          boolean update)
                                                   throws java.sql.SQLException

Returns a statement which tries its best to stream data. It may be necessary to jump through various (database/driver-dependent) hoops to persuade JDBC not to grab the whole query result and store it locally - doing that risks running out of heap memory in this JVM for large queries.

Note that in some cases the supplied connection may have its autocommit mode modified by this call.

Parameters:

conn - connection

update - true for an updatable set, false for read-only

Returns:

statement which (hopefully) streams results

Throws:

java.sql.SQLException
