RE: Got a huge XML document?

In my experience, ALL Large XML files are really collections of smaller files.

I have never seen a single XML document of any large size that isnt simply

<root>

   <row> document 1 .... </row>

..... 10 bizillion times

</root>

This is actually a strength to the streaming API's which take advantage of the fact that large XML files are almost always processable

as individual items which are small.

Unless you need cross referencing between items.  Then XSLT streaming wont save you and you need a database of some kind.
