Looking at two heap dumps, one for yesterday and one for today, about 17 hours apart. I notice that there is an increase in the classloaders of about 1150. Somewhere I think I remember that derby creates classes on the fly for queries and loads them. Is this true?
Related to the question is that I have a query that is created as a Statement, not a PreparedStatement. I am not using a PreparedStatement as the tables involved in the query are dynamic. A unique query is run about 4 times an hour. Is this going to cause memory problems, permgen space in particular? I could change the query to use a PeparedStatement but at the time I did not see any benefit as the query is going to be used exactly once. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Brett
