Only when you call the rs.next() the next record is fetched. If connection is closed rs.next() will not fetch records. For such a case, you can use the RowSet class which uses disconnected resultset. Regards, Partha

Whether the resultset will hold all the 10,000 records in memoy (RAM - stack, heap or cache does not matter)., or whenever a rs.next() is called it gets the next record from the database. If the connection.close() is executed after the query is executed, will rs.next() be able to get next records.
