Hi Thomas,

Do comparison operations load the entire object into memory or compare on a piecemeal fashion? Whenever someone uses BLOB I assume the worse-case scenario of very large objects, on the order of MBs or GBs of data per row.

Thanks,
Gili

Hi,

H2 still does create temporary files for BLOBs / CLOBs in the server
mode, so performance isn't that great in all cases.

But BLOBs and CLOBs are never read fully in memory, unless there is a
bug, or if you call a function that explicitly loads the object. So
for example comparison operations including (X = Y) and (X LIKE Y)
will try to load the object in memory (on the server side).

Regards,
Thomas
