One tip: Any time you can express $node//child as $node/exact/path/to/child you'll get better performance, because it saves MarkLogic from having to scan the full tree looking for the child.
Then there's little things to try, like if you're going to repeatedly compare a node to another node's value, you can get the data($val) value and compare using that instead, so the atomization of the node happens just once. Internal optimizations things like this change between server versions so I tend to experiment. And why get /text() if you want /string(). The following line of code is called presumably a large number of times, so the above ideas could help. > $xml_doc//firmname[.=$theOrigFirmname]/../translation/text() Maybe: $xml_doc/exact/path/translation[firmname = $theOrigFirmnameData]/string() Also, have you tried using the profiler? -jh- > On May 24, 2016, at 2:53 AM, Kari Cowan <kco...@alm.com> wrote: > > The file is used in a different application that I don’t have control over, > so I am just adjusting the data that’s in the file – to fix the firmname > (correcting some typo’s and inconsistencies they had and continue to have – > can’t really prevent that because the service pulls the data from various > public court records and every law clerk seems to have their own way of > entering the data). > > When my script is doing: for $firms in $pacer_doc//(counsel|party) … > Is there a better way than load the doc nodes in a for loop – maybe some > other function I am not aware of or another flowr ? > > > > From: general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com > <mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com> > [mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com > <mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com>] On Behalf Of Geert Josten > Sent: Monday, May 23, 2016 11:44 AM > To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <general@developer.marklogic.com > <mailto:general@developer.marklogic.com>> > Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] How to handle very large xml file to > prevent com.marklogic.xcc.exceptions.XQueryException: Time limit exceeded > > Hi Kari, > > 13 Mb isn’t really big actually, but big enough to perform less optimal, and > cause timeouts.
