Answer 1

The following can be done:

1. Change your to use the appropriate cf_sql type. Are code and id really strings?

2. Don't give your a name. You are not keeping the result anyway. var loc doesn't help either

3. Bump up you memory to the JVM Addtional approach Use Java 7 and G1GC

4. Every 100 to 1000 iterations do a forced Garbage Collect

5. Update your data in bulk. XML based table variables can do this.

6. Make your function silent

7. Consider ORM on this
