Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-1482:
----------------------------------------
I need to do little more experimentation but I think, after all, case 4 create
trigger tr1 after update on t1 referencing old as oldt for each row
values(oldt.id); might not be an issue because if no trigger columns are found,
Derby decides to read all the columns no matter what columns are referenced in
trigger action through old/new transition variable (this happens in
impl.sql.compile.UpdateNod.getUpdateReadMap()) and hence even though different
things get written for the 5 levels discussed below for case 4, we might be ok.
Will post soon after I have done some more testing for case 4)
> Update triggers on tables with blob columns stream blobs into memory even
> when the blobs are not referenced/accessed.

> Suppose I have 1) a table "t1" with blob data in it, and 2) an UPDATE trigger
> "tr1" defined on that table, where the triggered-SQL-action for "tr1" does
> NOT reference any of the blob columns in the table. [ Note that this is
> different from DERBY-438 because DERBY-438 deals with triggers that _do_
> reference the blob column(s), whereas this issue deals with triggers that do
> _not_ reference the blob columns--but I think they're related, so I'm
> creating this as subtask to 438 ]. In such a case, if the trigger is fired,
> the blob data will be streamed into memory and thus consume JVM heap, even
> though it (the blob data) is never actually referenced/accessed by the
> trigger statement.
> For example, suppose we have the following DDL:
> create table t1 (id int, status smallint, bl blob(2G));
> create table t2 (id int, updated int default 0);
> create trigger tr1 after update of status on t1 referencing new as n_row
> for each row mode db2sql update t2 set updated = updated + 1 where t2.id =
> n_row.id;
> Then if t1 and t2 both have data and we make a call to:
> update t1 set status = 3;
> the trigger tr1 will fire, which will cause the blob column in t1 to be
> streamed into memory for each row affected by the trigger. The result is
> that, if the blob data is large, we end up using a lot of JVM memory when we
> really shouldn't have to (at least, in _theory_ we shouldn't have to...).
> Ideally, Derby could figure out whether or not the blob column is referenced,
> and avoid streaming the lob into memory whenever possible (hence this is
> probably more of an "enhancement" request than a bug)...
