Wow! It had never occurred to me that one would use LibreOffice to
process a file of that size. Clearly, we do not handle this well. I
wonder if *should* handle it.
Let me confess that I am an old-fashioned (and old) guy, accustomed to
creating reports by a loop: { read one record, print one record }.
This new-fangled PC with its concept of loading a whole file at once
leaves me befuddled <grin />.
So I ask ...
(*) Looking for solutions within whole-file-at-once paradigm: Can we
make LO work with a document this size? Is it a reasonable amount
of work? Is there much demand?
(*) Is there anything in a report definition that would make it hard
to process it in one or more sequential passes over the input,
producing for example .pdf output? Sparrowbe, would this meet
your needs?
