Monks,

I'm selecting the contents of a table from a remote DB, tidying up the values, and inserting the results into a local table.
According to a mysqldump (data only) it should be 350MB of data.
However, when I try to load the remote data into an AoA, it hits the 4GB limit and crashes with 'Out of memory!'.
Why??
Core code 

        # Collect values
        while( @db_row = $sth->fetchrow_array())
        {
            $data_rec = [$db_row[0],
                         $db_row[1],
                         $db_row[2],
                         $db_row[3],
                         $db_row[4],
                         $db_row[5],
                         $db_row[6],
                         $db_row[7],
                         $db_row[8]
                        ];

            # Add to list
            push(@my_arr, $data_rec);
        }

Table def (sanitised):

A int(4) unsigned
B bigint(20) unsigned 
C char(2)
D int(10) unsigned 
E int(10) unsigned 
F char(4) 
G tinyint(2) unsigned 
H int(10) unsigned 
I tinyint(2) 

Num rows: 7022790

Any ideas?
