RE: Question for updating existing XML file
Title: Question for updating existing XML file
First time posting, new to the
list.
How do you update your XML files?
Example: (in a huge XML file...) <Entry>
<name>Jon</name>
</Entry> ...
If I want to update the name to Joe, or add
another name Jane. So the node looks like this: (in a huge XML file...) <Entry>
<name>Joe</name>
<name>Jane</name>
</Entry> ...
Is there a way to do this kind of update without
rewrite the whole file? My file is about 50MB.
I
wonder whether this is a wise way of using XML. Even with XML databases,
most databases are optimized to handle large numbers of small/medium
documents rather than a single gigantic one. I don't think that using an XML
document as a replacement for a database is a particularly good idea. It's
not the job it was designed for.
