Ran the same code via command line on Ubuntu. Racket seems to run out
of memory due to the size of BLOB.
How big was the blob? I have have some fixes pending for blobs that
don't fit within a single MySQL "packet", but that limit is pretty low.
Questions:
How can I give more memory to /usr/local/bin/racket?
Just the standard "ulimit" command.
Or more importantly,
Is there a way to pipe PORTs (in from MySQL and out to file) such that
Racket can handle 'very large' BLOBs?
No, that's not possible. But you can try retrieving the blob in separate
chunks (eg use the SUBSTR function with varying offsets).
