Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-1482:
----------------------------------------

Rick, thanks for reviewing the patch and for your comments. One thing may not 
have been clear in my patch comments is that now, with my changes in the patch, 
it is possible to have referencedColumns as null but 
referencedColumnsInTriggerAction as not null. eg
     create trigger tr1 after update on t1 referencing old as oldt  for each 
row values(oldt.id);
For the trigger above, the user has not provided a list of columns whose update 
should fire trigger tr1. Because of that, any column update from table t1 will 
cause trigger tr1 to fire. But the columns referenced in trigger action through 
old/new transiten variables is column "id". in other words, for this trigger, 
referencedColumns will be null but referencedColumnsInTriggerAction will not be 
null. The changes to readExternal and writeExternal will have to account for 
possibility of referencedColumns being null. Prior to my changes in the patch, 
if referencedColumns was null for a trigger, the entire object 
ReferencedColumnDescriptorImpl will be null and hence we will never get to 
these methods. The null case was handled by 
FormatIdOutputStream.writeObject(Object) with the following code
        public void writeObject(Object ref) throws IOException
        {
                if (ref == null)
                {
                        FormatIdUtil.writeFormatIdInteger(this, 
StoredFormatIds.NULL_FORMAT_ID);
                        return;
                }
                                          .........

> Suppose I have 1) a table "t1" with blob data in it, and 2) an UPDATE trigger 
> "tr1" defined on that table, where the triggered-SQL-action for "tr1" does 
> NOT reference any of the blob columns in the table. [ Note that this is 
> different from DERBY-438 because DERBY-438 deals with triggers that _do_ 
> reference the blob column(s), whereas this issue deals with triggers that do 
> _not_ reference the blob columns--but I think they're related, so I'm 
> creating this as subtask to 438 ]. In such a case, if the trigger is fired, 
> the blob data will be streamed into memory and thus consume JVM heap, even 
> though it (the blob data) is never actually referenced/accessed by the 
> trigger statement.
> For example, suppose we have the following DDL:
>     create table t1 (id int, status smallint, bl blob(2G));
>     create table t2 (id int, updated int default 0);
>     create trigger tr1 after update of status on t1 referencing new as n_row 
> for each row mode db2sql update t2 set updated = updated + 1 where t2.id = 
> n_row.id;
> Then if t1 and t2 both have data and we make a call to:
>     update t1 set status = 3;
> the trigger tr1 will fire, which will cause the blob column in t1 to be 
> streamed into memory for each row affected by the trigger. The result is 
> that, if the blob data is large, we end up using a lot of JVM memory when we 
> really shouldn't have to (at least, in _theory_ we shouldn't have to...).
> Ideally, Derby could figure out whether or not the blob column is referenced, 
> and avoid streaming the lob into memory whenever possible (hence this is 
> probably more of an "enhancement" request than a bug)...
