Hi Stefan, Thanks for your reply.
Concerning your, it looks as if the 1GB requires more (virtual) memory (and/or disk space) to load than is available on your system. The error indicates that MonetDB/XQuery fails to allocate 442499072 bytes (422 MB), while already 794361856 bytes (757 MB) of your machine's virtual memory (512 MB physical memory plus the size of your Windows installation's "page file") are used by MonetDB. Most probably, your virtual memory is less than 422 MB + 757 MB = 1179 MB, right? It could also be, that you harddisk (at least the partition used by MonetDB) has only less then 422 MB free at the time that MonetDB/XQuery tries to allocate the extra 422 MB.
I'm sorry, I don't really understand about the memory thing. But when I check in: Right Click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory Change, it is said that Drive C: Paging File Size 768-1536 MB Space Available: 3156MB My Hard Disk free space in Drive C is 2.33 GB (total is 12 GB). I use windows XP Professional version 2002 service pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU, 2.40GHz, 512 MB of RAM. How much memory and space does monetDB use? How to change the MonetDB/XQuery setting to shred the file in "D:\MyFolder\MonetDB" instead of the default location "C:\Documents and Settings\klarinda\Application Data\MonetDB\dbfarm"?
To test this, we'd need to have your document --- the pure size of the serialized document is not enough information for us to estimate how big the internal data structure will/must be --- we also need to know (a.o.) how many nodes the document has, what the structure look like, etc.
You can download the file (DC1000catalog.xml) from here: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=1604D48611A31D6D (the file is only available for 7 days) The size after zipping is around 214mb.
I tried to generate your document myself in order to analyse the problem, but (while working fine for Text-Centric documents) the XBench/ToXgene generator fails for me with Document-Centric documents (at least with the "large" and "huge" ones):
I don't know why it throws error. I get it from my friend and it's working fine. Have you tried the small and normal? Actually I also never tried the huge one.
One final question (for now): Which version of MonetDB/XQuery are you using?
I'm using version 0.12.0 FYI, previously I installed 0.10.2, then I uninstall it and install a new one. Thanks, Klarinda
