RE: [xsl] HUGE xml input files

["Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any XSLT processor is going to struggle with 160 Mb input, though it is
just about feasible if you have masses of memory.

What is the nature of the transformation? Can it be broken up into a
series of smaller transformations, each of which deals with one subtree?
If so, you could break up the document using a SAX filter, or use
Saxon's saxon:preview mechanism.

If the transformation really requires direct access to the whole
document, you should be thinking about putting the data into a database.
For example an XML database such as Software AG's Tamino.
