Re: Size limit for input file , while transforming ??

Had a similiar problem once with some very large XML coming in for an
external content provider. As we didn't have the resources to process such
a file we wrote some code to 'chop' it into thousands of small XML files.
It did the job.

Hi,

I would like to know whether any limit is set for the input xml file when
it
is processed ?

Can i use a input xml file which is of few GB for processing ? Suppose I am

having file of 10 GB and I am trasforming it , will my processing be
crashed ?
I am usign msxsl engine.

As per I guess only memory is constraint and process will be slow but it
wont
crash. The only effect on the performace point of view is that the
processing
will be slow. Am i right ?

Please throw some lights on this issue.

Regards,
Dipesh
