Chris BartlettSubject: Can I do this with Stylus?
Author: Chris Bartlett
Date: 19 Nov 2009 04:10 AM
Hi All,

I am trying to find out if Stylus studio can solve my problems:

1) I have large scale XML files with quite complex tree structure and many attributes (average size of XML is about 150MB)
2) I need to extract some tables from XML with selected columns and export it to Access .mdb
3) I need to add keys from the parent attribute values as extra columns to the exported tables

Basically that's it. can I do this with Stylus?

Thanks!

Chris

Hi Chris,
Stylus Studio can easily handle your 150Mb file (we tested with XML documents up to 1Gb). As for moving parts of this document to Access, I would use XQuery or XSLT to do the filtering and shaping the result to conform to a structure like

<dataroot>
<TableName>
<Column1>data</Column1>

that can be imported into Access using either the UI or programmatically by running a script like

Const acAppendData = 2
Set objAccess = CreateObject("Access.Application")
objAccess.OpenCurrentDatabase "C:\Scripts\Test.mdb"
objAccess.ImportXML "c:\scripts\test.xml", acAppendData

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa139956%28office.10%29.aspx for more informations on the Access side.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Thank you Alberto.

Still, the problem with large files remains. Even though I have managed to load it (not a very big - about 190MB), it is hardly manageable and Stylus Studio crashed a few times. is there a way to split large XML with Stylus? I am trying to find a simple and quick solution without coding a custom splitter myself.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,
which version of Stylus Studio are you using?
Can you cause a crash and send the error report to stylus-field-report@progress.com (which a zipped copy of the XML, if possible)?

As for splitting the file in chunks, there is no such a feature in Stylus, as the logic behind splitting is usually non-standard and depends on the capabilities of the application reading that XML.

Thanks,
Alberto
