Large XML

The following parsing options are available. Note: Lobster_data automatically switches to Large XML expected, if the file is larger than 2 GB, but then uses a conservative behaviour with parsing option Disk.

In Memory	If you have enough main memory, choose this option to do everything there.
Disk	Only a part of the XML file is loaded into the memory. This works much like a cursor select on databases.
Hybrid	Best 'choice of weapons'. The parsing takes place in mode Disk, but generated records are processed in memory. This reduces hard disk access and thus increases the processing speed.
