[basex-talk] handling large files: is there a streaming solution?

Hello List I am wanting to do a join with some large (3-400Mb) XML files and would appreciate guidance on the optimal strategy. At present these files are on the filesystem and not in a database Is there any equivalent to the Zorba streaming xml:parse()? Would loading the files into a database directly be the approach, or is it better to split them into smaller files? Is the file: module a suitable route through which to import the files? Thanks for your help Peter
