JDBC Rowsets running out of memory when dealing with large tables

Hello,

The following code doesn't work for SELECT query on very large tables
:

...

import javax.sql.RowSet;
import oracle.jdbc.rowset.OracleJDBCRowSet;

....

RowSet rowset = new OracleJDBCRowSet();
rowset.setUsername(username);
rowset.setPassword(password);
rowset.setUrl(url);
rowset.setConcurrency(ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
rowset.setCommand();
rowset.execute();

while ( rowset.next() )
{
   // These variables have been declared earlier

   callType = rowset.getString("CALL_TYPE");
   otherNumber= rowset.getString("OTHER_NUMBER");
   timestamp = rowset.getTimestamp("CHARGING_TIMESTAMP");
   volume = rowset.getInt("VOLUME");

   rowset.updateFloat("CHARGE", volume * 0.50);
   rowset.updateRow();
}
// Closing the DB connection.
rowset.close();
...



The jars used : ojdbc14.jar, ocr12.zip, ocr12.jar comes along with
Oracle 9i.


It runs out of memeory when I try to execute it on a large table. Is
it because the rowset is trying to cache the entire resultset in
memory? From practical requirements point a view neither can I
guarantee that the data would be lesser than permitted by the m/c's
main memory on which it will be implemented nor the actual table can
be split up into chunks.

Is there any other way out ? Please reply asap.
