When Java sees that your machine has got plenty of RAM and more than one CPU, it assumes that it's a server and you want to run just a single VM, and configures itself to use a fair chunk of available RAM. This is more or less a Sun-specific issue. Other Java implementations make different choices. -- Florian Weimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
