  The SAP error message DB6PM788 DBCFG - STMTHEAP - SAP recommendation: at least 4096 typically indicates that the statement heap size for the database connection is set too low. The statement heap is a memory area used by the database to store prepared statements, and if it is not configured properly, it can lead to performance issues or errors when executing SQL statements.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the current configuration of the statement heap size is below the recommended minimum of 4096 bytes. This can happen due to:
  
  Default settings in the database configuration that are too low.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to increase the statement heap size in the database configuration. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Database: Determine which database you are using (e.g., SAP HANA, Oracle, SQL Server, etc.).

  For Oracle: You may need to adjust the SESSION or PROCEDURAL memory settings.
  For SQL Server: You might need to adjust the max server memory or other related settings.
  
  
  
  Set the Value: Change the statement heap size to at least 4096 bytes or higher, depending on your application's needs.
  
  
  Restart the Database: After making changes, you may need to restart the database for the new settings to take effect.
