Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the reply.

Does it make sense, that the overflow message only appears the first
time the query is executed?
The table I'm selecting actually has a large varchar column. I had
hoped to escape any performance issues by simply not selecting that
particular column - am I right in the assumption, that this will not
work and h2 still needs to load whole rows (including the overlong
column)?

Would it be better to simply use a clob instead of the varchar or
should we extract the column to its own table?

Thanks for your help,
Dario
