Mark, thanks for responding. Do you have a recommendation as to how much I should increase the perm gen space? Also, is there anything else I can do to run my decision tables more efficiently? Jan try increasing your perm gen space. Mark On 16 Aug 2014, at 04:11, Jan Rose <ufos at comcast.net> wrote: > Would like some advice regarding using Decision Tables in DROOLS 5.6.0 Final. We have decision tables with over 12,000 rows. It is a basic ‘look-up’ table with 3 conditions and 2 actions. The conditions are, for example: Company = X Dept = X Class = X then value = X and log X.
