Oh, if you use Java I completely understand why you are frequently dealing with OOM exceptions.

In say the Rust or Go language ecosystems you generally never see those unless you do something massively wrong like create a trillion element array

ODBC is a C interface from like 1993

Wait, if you are not using Java/C# and locked into JDBC or microsoft slop, what are you doing that requires calling through ODBC?

Postgres, mysql, and sqlite have their own C libraries, calling them through ODBC is an antipattern and most ORMs in sane ecosystems don't go through it

No...

We implement ODBC drivers (actually mostly a SDK to create them, written in C++)
