Hi Paul,

our customers process many Xml files (average size 20/40MB) without
problems. We use Scott Klement port of Expat and it's really fast. Few
minutes on a POWER 7+ machine.

(Cross Posting from Midrange-L)

We are on IBM I V7R3.

The immediate question: Is XMLTABLE the best way to process a large XML
file?

We have XML files that contain over 40,000 individual data records with
file sizes over 7 megs and one even over 70 megs in one instance.
I am parsing the data from XML into an SQL table using the following
statement:

exec sql
insert into pjtlib/zmpsnxfl
select x.*
from pjtlib/xmltext,
XMLTABLE( '$doc/IMB_Personalization/MailingData/Personalization'
passing info as "doc"
columns
mailingNumber varchar(5) default ' ' path
'../../MailingNumber'
, imbNumber varchar(21) default ' ' path '../IMB_Number'
, psnValue varchar(100) default ' ' path 'PsnAlpha'
, psnCode varchar(3) default ' ' path 'PsnCde'
, MFentity varchar(3) default ' ' path 'MFentity'
, MFelement varchar(3) default ' ' path 'MFelement'
) X

This works great for a file with a few hundred transactions in it. But
when we have 40,000 transactions it takes a lot of time. (I have a file
that is 35meg in size, with over 50,000 records and it took 20 minutes to
complete.)

Is there a way to speed this up using XMLTABLE() or is there a more
efficient way other than XMLTABLE?

Thanks,

Paul
