Read a large result set in chunks from mysql
- by ripper234
I am trying to read a huge result set from mysql. Reading them in a straight-forward manner didn't work, as mysql tries to return all results together, which times out.
I found the following piece of code which tells mysql to read the results back one at a time:
stmt = conn.createStatement(java.sql.ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, java.sql.ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
stmt.setFetchSize(Integer.MIN_VALUE);
Can I read a chunk at a time instead of one by one? I've tried setting fetch size to a different value, but it doesn't work.
