I always thought that EOFetchSpecification.setFetchLimit( int n) would generate SQL with LIMIT n tacked onto the end of the SQL statement, but it appears not to.

This is the default behavior as not all databases implement this. Specific plugins add this, IIRC.

Hi guys,

I have just stumbled into the same issue here:

I need to fetch the latest item from a table in a MySQL database, where there are almost half a million items I thought that fetchSpec.setFetchLimit(1) would tell the DB to do the hard work, but this appears not to be the case.
Consequently, my app is exploding with 'out of memory' issues.

Is there a work around for this problem (some plug-in I am unaware of), or do I need to get creative with raw-rows?

A solution would be good, because I was using these all over the place (without knowledge of the consequences)

Thanks again,

Mark


Instead it fetches the all qualifying records and does the LIMIT in memory?! Has this always been the case .... or is it just the MySQL driver?

For example:

<snip>
// Fetch the most recent shipped message
ERXSortOrderings s = CTMessage.XKEY_OID.descs();

ERXFetchSpecification<CTMessage> fs = new ERXFetchSpecification<CTMessage>(CTMessage.ENTITY_NAME,null,s);

fs.setFetchLimit(1);

System.out.println("MailingAddressUtilitiesTests.suppressionTest (): fs.SQL = " + ERXEOAccessUtilities.sqlForFetchSpecification(ec, fs));

NSArray<CTMessage> objects = fs.fetchObjects(ec);
</snip>


..... generates the following SQL without "LIMIT 1" !!!

SELECT t0.oid, t0.oidcampaign, t0.oiddatarecord, t0.oidjob, t0.oidlocation, t0.oidmediatemplate, t0.recaddtime, t0.recadduser, t0.recmodtime, t0.recmoduser, RTRIM(t0.workflowstate) FROM message t0 ORDER BY t0.oid DESC;
