I'm not sure if I phrased my question correctly so let me explain more. I'm running a (SELECT * FROM TABLE) query against a 50 million records table (Following the BINDABLE convention, so it sends it's rows through a "sink"). Since the extracted rows aren't processed in any way, I was expecting that the output JDBC resultset would be able to enumerate through all the results in a matter of seconds, but instead, my machine didn't print anything. What exactly happens is that (PreparedStatement.executeQuery) doesn't return a resultset promptly even after a few minutes have passed.
I tried a table with hundreds of rows and my testing code printed those results right away so it's not something I missed there, but probably a configuration I didn't set ? Or may be that's just how it is ? Does anyone else believe that the behaviour I expected is reasonable ? It would also lower the amount of memory consumed to hold the complete results before bursting them to their final destination, if that's the case in the first place. Thanks, Gelbana
