Dear Peter,

Did you try to create a collection with the files (CREATE command) ? You should start that way, I don't see the point in using file: module for import. I think that once in the database, file size does not matter (until you reach millions of file in the collection, and do a lot of document related operations (list, etc...))

Hello List I am wanting to do a join with some large (3-400Mb) XML files and would appreciate guidance on the optimal strategy. At present these files are on the filesystem and not in a database

Is there any equivalent to the Zorba streaming xml:parse()?

Would loading the files into a database directly be the approach, or is it better to split them into smaller files?

Is the file: module a suitable route through which to import the files?

Thanks for your help

Peter
