Re^2: DB_File/BerkeleyDB with large datafiles

I converted it into XML. I parsed a huge file and wrote the information interesting for me to an XML file.
But to retrieve information from this file I might have to read it in completely (if the dataset is the last one
in the file). So I'm searching for something a little more convenient/faster but still just using flat files.

Storing data used for random retrieval in XML is ... um ... never going to work very well. (Some would say that storing data in XML is a mistake full stop--me amongst them--but don't let that put you off :) Could you show us one or two records of your data? Also, indicate how you need to retrieve them. Ie. By record number; or some embedded identifier; etc. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo.

Thanks but I guess I will try to do it like graff suggests (next reply). Might be most straight forward. If it doesn't work I will come back here ;-)	[reply]
