Hi Guys,

I am using csv file as database having approximately 9 lakh records.

After the connection is successful, bot executes the select query having some conditions, which runs for like an hour or so and then throws an error - Out of Memory.

 

Is it because of huge dataset or using CSV as database?

 

Any help will be really appreciated!!

Hi @Raul Jaimes 

What does -Xmx4096m, -Xmx8192m mean?

Hi. It  specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) This means that the JVM will be able to use a maximum of Xmx  amount of memory. In this case, it will be able to use 4096 MB or 8192MB depending of VM resources.

Thanks for sharing the solution Rahul.. Unfortunately I do not have the admin access and I don't know if they will be convinced to make the changes... Surely will try it out and share the results.
