[Pljava-dev] Fw: out of memery

Hi Lifeng

The postgresql backend will issue a call to the Java language handler.
One call per retrieved row. The first call will issue a call to your
static method, take the ResultSet that is returned, wrap it in a
org.postgresql.pljava.internal.ResultSetPicker and then issue a call to
assignRowValues() on that wrapper. That method in turn will issue a call
to next() on your ResultSet. Data from the ResultSet is then copied over
to a tuple. Now the function returns.

Subsequent calls from pgsql to get the remaining rows will now call the
assignRowValuues() that in turn will call next() on your result set.
This will happen, one row at a time, until your ResultSet returns false
on a call to next() or until the query is interrupted.

For more info, see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/xfunc-c.html. Especially
the section titled "32.9.10. Returning Sets from C-Language Functions".

Relevant parts of the PL/Java source code can be found in:

src/C/pljava/Backend.c
src/C/pljava/Function.c
src/C/pljava/type/ResultSetProvider.c

src/java/pljava/org/postgresql/pljava/ResultSetHandle.java
src/java/pljava/org/postgresql/pljava/internal/ResultSetPicker.java

Hope this helps,
