Hi Christian - Thanks for taking a look at this. I apologize for not being clearer: I am using the BaseX GUI. Database > New > Create Database. Input format = CSV; and CSV Parsing options are Separator = Tab, Format = direct, Parse first line as table header = True. The 'creating database' progress bar gets to the 'Finishing' stage and then the OOM is thrown. Let me know if I can share any other information. Enjoy the weekend!

Hi Bridger,
Could you describe how you triggered the OOM error (even if you may have found a solution to parse the file in the meanwhile)?
Thanks in advance, Christian

Hi all -
I'm trying to work with some files that are TSV (tab separated values) that are fairly small (510K) but are causing OOM errors, even when launching the BaseX GUI with 8GB of memory. I've attached an example. Parsing options are separator = tab, format = direct, parse first line as table header = true; no indexes or full-text are selected.
I recall this was an issue with v12.1, but I think I found an alternate representation of the data and didn't report the problem. Is this a bug, or just user/operator error?
I'm using v12.3. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Best, Bridger
