Hello,
Question: is there any reason for mclient to use (large) amounts of memory during a dump of a sql database?
syntax used: $ mclient -lsql -D -dsomedatabase > dump.sql
I observe >12 GB of resident memory use when dumping a 2GB (in dump text format) database (it steadily grows), using the May2009 stable branch (of last week)
Top shows: 28371 walink 16 0 12.2g 12g 2944 R 87 4.0 10:48.58 mclient
I haven't investigated it any further, but I was first of all wondering whether it actually needs these amounts of memory?
Greetings, Wouter
