I hope I am not taking the following quote out of context:

When an object is created, it issues a select for the whole table (or possible several smaller chunks and accumulates) so that it has its data available for immediate read access

Selecting an entire table into memory becomes a real problem when you're dealing with large tables. Also, selecting the table into memory does not lock it. One important thing to remember about some databases (Oracle for one) is that the DB makes every effort to keep frequently accessed blocks of data in memory so that you don't have to do a physical read/write when doing selects, inserts, updates, deletes. This explains (in part) why Oracle soaks up so much memory and CPU.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
