Article on the RAX concept: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2000/04/26/rax/index.html RAX allows you to specify a record seperator (a tag in the XML file), and splits into into chunks of that tag. It is stream based so it only reads in as much of the file it needs to construct the next record. It only applies to XML files that fit that type of format though (like RSS). At the very least you might find the code helpful. > but I can't figure out how to echo the data > back out exactly as I got it. I'm not sure I completely understand. Anyway I am out of here today, hope you find an answer. Rob -----Original Message----- From: Sean Davis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2004 5:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: splitting large xml file I have a very large (200Mb) XML file that consists of multiple records. I would like to split these records up and store the XML for each in a database for quick retrieval. I simply need to echo all of the XML between the enclosing record tags into the database. Ideally, I would use SAX to parse things, but I can't figure out how to echo the data back out exactly as I got it. Any clues?
