It may be that the Derby page cache is too big for this memory size. By default the page cache is 1000 pages, and the default page size is 4k. However I would guess with James that the default page size is 32k, as it increases for tables with BLOBs/CLOBs or long rows. Thus the page cache is much bigger when using BLOBs etc. You can try bumping the page cache size down, derby.storage.pageCacheSize=100 http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.1/tuning/rtunproper81359.html Either as a system property, or in the derby.properties file. This is a know issue in Derby, I think there are a couple of possible solutions: 1) define memory usage in Mb, not pages 2) better dynamic configuration when OutOfMemory exceptions are seen, e.g. dynamically reduce cache.
