It is most unlikely that you will work with 2 million records simultaneously. Usually you create required instances of Entity beans by first querying your Database through Finder Methods, which will return you a set of records and of those, which ever you are processing , it will be instantiated as an object. And if you will by any means need to work with the 2 million records in the single process, then that is actually App server dependent issue, how is it managed ? Some servers handle this by keeping cached row set, or an XML based hierarchal database replica embedded with the server, as it saves lot of network i/o.
