I have a program that uses SQL to read a table and write the JSON reformatted data to the IFS using YAJL. This is going to be a BIG file. Since YAJL builds the file in memory, this is going to consume a LOT of memory.

In the Windows world, when a program needs memory and none is available, Windows shuffles some memory to disk and frees up that memory. Does the IBM i basically work the same way or am I going to eat all of the memory and crash the machine? ☹

I'm thinking that I might need to rewrite the program to get away from YAJL and just manually write each record to the IFS as it is processed.

Thoughts?
