After increase of HEAP in java it works, but also the java
needs much memory, as I don't expect it. I have also
tried to substitute this command line by prepared-statement
like 'PreparedStatement ps =
this.dbConnection.prepareStatement(selectClause);'
Do have anyone a solution for that problem?
You could use the function below that breaks a bytea value into pieces
of 'chunksize' length and returns them as a set of rows.
Syntax of call:
SELECT * FROM chunks((SELECT subquery that returns one bytea column),
1024*1024)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION chunks (contents bytea,chunksize int)
RETURNS SETOF bytea AS $$
DECLARE
length int;
current int;
chunk bytea;
BEGIN
IF contents IS NULL THEN
RETURN NEXT NULL;
RETURN;
END IF;
SELECT octet_length(contents) INTO length;
current:=1;
LOOP
SELECT substring(contents FROM current FOR chunksize) INTO chunk;
RETURN NEXT chunk;
current:=current+chunksize;
EXIT WHEN current>=length;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
$$ language 'plpgsql';
Another option would be not to use that function, but instead implement
its logic in your client-side code (multiple SELECTs in a loop). I
expect this would lessen the server-side memory consumption.
