Additional Notes
How would you explain a downside of large batch sizes in an interview?
Track: Java
Topic: SQL for Java Devs
Focus: Batching
Java: Batching
Answer
Large batch sizes can cause high memory use and complex error recovery.
Using large batch sizes might lead to excessive memory usage and make error recovery difficult if a failure occurs. For example, a batch of 10,000 inserts may consume significant resources and complicate rollback if a single statement fails.
