Did you get the error when adding the primary key?
If you got the error on a different query, could you post that query, and
possibly
the query plan being executed? A possible workaround might be to see if you
could create a different index such that the system could pick a query plan
where
the sort is not needed.
As you mention derby does try to estimate ahead of time amount of memory, but it
has a number of problems:
1) the java interfaces do not work well for estimating amount of memory
available in
the future.
2) derby estimates for blob/clob size are often wrong. I believe xml uses clob
implementation
internally. I would guess the technical problem here is that derby
underestimated the sort
size.
Providing a reproducible test case that you can check into JIRA will increase
the likelyhood that
a developer will look at the issue.

We got a 'java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space' when using a Derby disk

ALTER TABLE TABLE

(ID);
I opened the heap dump with Eclipse Memory Analyzer and found that tree instances of
org.apache.derby.impl.store.access.sort.MergeInserter occupies 290 MB of memory (that is 66 % of the total heap)
The problem seems to be that MergeInserter holds a sort buffer that contains complete rows and theTEST_XML is about 160 kB each.
MergeInserter has an advanced algorithm to calculate the allowed size of the buffer, but is it necessary store the complete row in
the buffer, i.e. the non-indexed values (TEST_XML is this case)?
Is there some property I can set to limit the buffer size or is it possible to rewrite the SQL schema someway to exclude the XML
type from the buffer?
