[xquery-talk] Saxon: Java heap space problem

[Michael Kay]

This is a Java option, not a Saxon option. For the Sun JVM see
 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html
 
Eg:
 
java -Xmx1024m net.sf.saxon.Query ....

Michael,

 

Thanks but I don't see this option on
http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/using-xquery/commandline.html nor when
I do "java -help".

Is it available for Saxon 8.9J (free version)?

How much heap space did you allocate?

 

My usual rule of thumb is 5x the raw document size, so this should run if
you allocate 1Gb (use the -Xmx option). That's an apporximation of course,
it's sometimes more, sometimes less.

Hi,

 

When attempting to process a 200 MB file with Saxon 8.9J (Java version
1.6.0_01), I run out of heap space. 

 

Building tree for file:/D:/PFA/PFA_200509302000_F.xml using class net.sf.sa

xon.tinytree.TinyBuilder

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

        at
net.sf.saxon.tinytree.TinyTree.ensureNodeCapacity(TinyTree.java:203)

        at net.sf.saxon.tinytree.TinyTree.addNode(TinyTree.java:292)

 

Since I'm already using the default "tiny tree" model, and having closed
down other applications, short of adding more physical memory, is there
anything else I can do? If it matters, this large file is only 2 "lines":
the XML declaration and the rest of the file.

 

Is there anyway of getting a ballpark handle on the max size of file I can
process with Saxon (and Java) if my physical memory is say "N" MB?

 

Total Physical Mem = 2.048 GB

Available Physical Mem = 1.22 GB

Total Virtual Mem = 2.00 GB

Available Virtual Mem = 1.96 MB

Page File Space = 3.85 GB

 

Thanks!
