VERY big files (!!) created by QuarkXPress 7

Hi there!
I have a "problem" with QuarkXPress 7.3 and I don't know if this is the right forum to ask...
Anyway, I have createed a document, about 750 pages, with 1000 pictures placed in it. I have divided it in 3 layouts.
I'm saving the file and the file created is 1,20GB !!!
Isn't that a very big file for QuarkXPress??
In that project there are 3 layouts. I tried to make a copy of that file and delete 2 of 3 layouts and the project's file size is still the same!!
(Last year, I had created (almost) the same document and as I checked that document now, its size is about 280 MB!!)
The problem is that I have "autosave" on (every 5 or 10 minutes) and it takes some time to save it !
Can anyone help me with that??
Why does Quark has made SO big file???
Thank you all for your time!

This is really a Quark issue and better asked in their forum areas. However, have you tried to do a Save As and see how big the resultant document is?

How do i open a VERY big file?

I hope someone can help.
I did some testing using a LeCroy LT342 in segment mode. Using the
Labview driver i downloaded the data over GPIB and saved it to a
spreadsheet file. Unfortunately it created very big files (ranging from
200MB to 600MB). I now need to process them but Labview doesn't like
them. I would be very happy to split the files into an individual file
for each row (i can do this quite easily) but labview just sits there
when i try to open the file.
I don't know enough about computers and memory (my spec is 1.8GHz
Pentium 4, 384MB RAM) to figure out whether if i just leave it for long
enough it will do the job or not.
Has anyone any experience or help they could offer?
Thanks,
Phil

When you open (and read) a file you usually move it from your hard disk (permanent storage) to ram. This allows you to manipulate it in high speeds using fast RAM memory, if you don't have enough memory (RAM) to read the whole file, you will be forced to use virtual memory (uses swap space on the HD as "virtual" RAM) which is very slow. Since you only have 384 MB of RAM and want to process Huge files (200MB-600MB) you could easily and inexpensively upgrade to 1GB of RAM and see large speed increases. A better option is to lode the file in chunks looking at some number of lines at a time and processing this amount of data and repeat until the file is complete, this will be more programming but will allow you to use much lass RAM at any instance.

Question about reading a very big file into a buffer.

Hi, everyone!
I want to randomly load several characters from
GB2312 charset to form a string.
I have two questions:
1. Where can I find the charset table file? I have used
google for hours to search but failed to find GB2312 charset
file out.
2. I think the charset table file is very big and I doubted
whether I can loaded it into a String or StringBuffer? Anyone
have some solutions? How to load a very big file and randomly
select several characters from it?
Have I made myself understood?
Thanks in advance,
George

The following can give the correspondence between GB2312 encoded byte arrays and characters (in hexadecimal integer expression).
import java.nio.charset.*;
import java.io.*;
public class GBs{
static String convert() throws java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException{
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
String l_separator = System.getProperty("line.separator");
Charset chset = Charset.forName("EUC_CN");// GB2312 is an alias of this encoding
CharsetEncoder encoder = chset.newEncoder();
int[] indices = new int[Character.MAX_VALUE+1];
for(int j=0;j<indices.length;j++){
       indices[j]=0;
for(int j=0;j<=Character.MAX_VALUE;j++){
    if(encoder.canEncode((char)j)) indices[j]=1;
byte[] encoded;
String data;
for(int j=0;j<indices.length;j++) {
     if(indices[j]==1) {
            encoded =(Character.toString((char)j)).getBytes("EUC_CN");
                      for(int q=0;q<encoded.length;q++){
                      buffer.append(Byte.toString(encoded[q]));
                      buffer.append(" ");
            buffer.append(": 0x");buffer.append(Integer.toHexString(j));
            buffer.append(l_separator);
    return buffer.toString();
//the following is for testing
/*public static void main(String[] args) throws java.lang.Exception{
   String str = GBs.convert();
   System.out.println(str);*/

Upload of very big files (300MB+)

Hello all,
I am trying to create application in HTMLDB to store files via webbrowser in DB(BLOB). I created all needed components and now stuck with the problem of uploading big files. Basicaly when file is over 100MB it becomes unreliable and for big files does not work at all. Can somebody help me to figure out how to upload big files into htmldb application. Any hints and sugestions are welcome. Examples will be even more appreciated.
Sincerely,
Ian

Ian,
When you say "big files does not work at all", what do you see in the browser? Is no page returned at all?
When a file is uploaded, it takes some amount of time to simply transfer the file from the client to modplsql. If you're on a local Gbit network, this is probably fast. If you're doing this over a WAN or over the Internet, this is probably fairly slow. As modplsql gets this uploaded file, it writes it to a temporary BLOB. Once fully received, modplsql will then insert this into the HTML DB upload table.
I suspect that the TimeOut directive in Apache/Oracle HTTP Server is kicking in here. The default setting for this is 300 (5 minutes).
I believe the timeout is reset by modplsql during file transfer to avoid a timeout operation while data is still being sent. Hence, I believe the insertion of your large file into the file upload table is taking longer than the TimeOut directive.
The easy answer is to consider increasing your TimeOut directive for Apache/Oracle HTTP Server.
The not so easy answer is to investigate why it takes so long for this insert, and tune the database accordingly.
Hope this helps.

A very big file

i have a very big text file . almost 800 MB . in some lines i have a special pattern "from the end" is present. i want to pick up those lines.
whats are the possible efficient solutions ?
as the file is large , i hesitate to use BufferedReader + readLine + indexOf("from the end") because its not efficient . it reads all the lines.
is RandomAccessFle will be a good solution ? but RAF dont have readLine + indexOf("from the end") .how do i solve it then ?
i have java 1.4 . in java 1.4 what is the best solution for solving this kind of problem ?

Under all circumstance you'll have to read all bytes
of the file once.Not true! If the file consists of bytes with a character representation that uses only one byte (e.g. ASCII or iso-8859-x) then the following class if very efficient.

How kann I store a very big file in to Oracle XML DB?

Hello,
I´m looking for a fast method to store a XML file in to a oracle 10g XE. I had try to store the 500 kb file in to the database as a xmltype or a clob, but I still have the same Error: "ORA-01704: string literal too long". I´m looking for a long time for a possibility to store this file and another one(113 MB) in to the database. I had searched by google to see if any solution are available, and the unique solution found is to splitt the document in a loop statement(due to the 32 kb limit). But this solution don´t allow any storage with a XML Schema and is to slow.
here is an example how I did it(but it didn´t work):
create table Mondial(Nr int, xmldata xmltype);
INSERT INTO Mondial VALUES (1, 'big xml file');
I would also try the alternative with a bind variable like this:
create or replace PROCEDURE ProcMondial IS
poXML CLOB;
BEGIN
poXML := 'big xml file';
INSERT INTO Mondial VALUES (1, XMLTYPE(poXML));
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
raise_application_error(-20101, 'Exception occurred in Mondial procedure :'||SQLERRM);
END ProcMondial;
I become also the same Error:String to long!
I am using sql developer for the Query.
please help me, I´m despaired.
thanks!
Michael

If you use the suggested statement
create table Mondial(Nr int, xmldaten xmltype) TABLESPACE mybigfile;than I hope for you that this XML data content will not be used for content driven procedures like selecting, updating or deletion of parts of XML data. The default for "xmltype" has a CLOB physical representation that, if not on 11g combining it with an XMLIndex, is only useful for document driven XML storage. That means - You ALWAYS delete, select, update or insert the WHOLE XML content (/per record basis). If this is not your intent, you will encounter performance problems.
Use instead Object Relational or Binary XML (11g) while using the XMLType datatype or the XMLType datatype in conjunction with CLOB based storage AND an XMLIndex if on 11g. Carefully read the first and/or second chapter of the 10/11g XMLDB Development Guide. Carefully choose your XMLType needed (and or XML design) if you don't want to be disappointed regarding the end result and/or have to redesign your XML tables.
A short introduction on the possibilities can be found here (not only 11g related btw): http://www.liberidu.com/blog/?p=203

What is the easiest way to create and manage very big forms?

I need to create a form that will contain few hundred questions. Could you please give me some advise on what is the easiest way to do that? I mean for example is it easier to create everything in Word (since it is easier to manage) and than create a form based on that?
My concern is that when I will have a very big form, containing different kinds of questions and with many scripts, managing it during work will be slow and difficult, for example adding a question in the middle of the form which would require moving half of the questions down which could smash the layout etc.
What is the best practise for that?
Thanks in advance

Try using Table and Rows for this kind of forms. These forms will have the same look throught with a question and and answer section..
In the future if you want to add a new section, you can simply add rows in between..
Thanks

Database Log File becomes very big, What's the best practice to handle it?

The log of my production Database is getting very big, and the harddisk is almost full, I am pretty new to SAP, but familiar with SQL Server, if anybody can give me advice on what's the best practice to handle this issue.
Should I Shrink the Database?
I know increase hard disk is need for long term .
Thanks in advance.

Hi Finke,
Usually the log file fills up and grow huge, due to not having regular transaction log backups. If you database is in FULL recovery mode, every transaction is logged in Transaction file, and it gets cleared when you take a log backup. If it is a production system and if you don't have regular transaction log backups, the problem is just sitting there to explode, when you need a point in time restore. Please check you backup/restore strategy.
Follow these steps to get transactional file back in normal shape:
1.) Take a transactional backup.
2.) shrink log file. ( DBCC shrinkfile('logfilename',10240)
The above command will shrink the file to 10 GB.(recommended size for high transactional systems)

> Should I Shrink the Database? .
"NEVER SHRINK DATA FILES", shrink only log file
3.) Schedule log backups every 15 minutes.

I inadvertently created a very large file. Not needing it I sent it to the Trash Can. However, the deletion process never completes. Any suggestions as to how to delete it ?

I inadvertently created a very large file on my hard drive. Not needing it I sent it to the Trash Can. However, the deletion process never completes. Any suggestions as to how to delete it ? I re-installed the OS but the file was still there taking up needed space.

Command-click all of the files you want to delete and don't actually move them to the Trash until you've gone through the entire folder.

Very Big Videora MP4 File not copying to iTunes

Hi,
I have followed your exact steps from the Videora guide, the problem I am experiencing is that when I drag and drop my MPEG4 file into iTunes, nothing happens.
When dropped into any of the valid directories in iTunes, the + icon shows that the action is valid, but I can't see that it has put my movie into iTunes anywhere?!
The only thing that I can think of is that the movie file i'm adding is rather large, 2.3G. In fact all the DVD's i'm trying to convert are massive and takes hours?!
Has anyone else experienced this?
Help?
theOne

You may want to check your videora settings. The file size you speak off sounds like a very uncompressed file. 2.3gb is bigger than any movie file I ever had on my computer and once I run films through videora it usually makes them about a third of their original size.

Large file created in archive area.

I'm having this situation. Their is a file being created in our archives area that starts with DATAFILES as shown below, that is very big and
can this file be deleted or purged from the archives area? If another file this size is created in the area it will surely occupy all the disk space available. How can I handle this situation and why is this file being created? The first 2 files are other files being created in the same area.

It looks like a backup, but we can't be sure. You'd have to identify the process / script / job that creates the file and why.
/sbin/fuser DATAFILES_..._20100208_5el5f395_s15534_p1
might help identify a process accessing / writing to that file.

Very Big Cell when export in Excel

Dear Tech guys,
I use VS 2008 with VB and CR 2008.
Crystal report, and export in PDF are OK, but when i export the report in Excel, i have the bellow problems.
The report is a delivery note with 7 columns and many rows.
1. In all pages, the page numbers are lost, except from the last page.
2. After last row, excel has a very big in height (height > 300) row. Because of this, excel creates a new empty page and at the bottom of the new page i see the page number (Page 5 of 5).
Can you help me with this problem??
I have this problem after the last update (Service Pack 3).
Visual Studio 2008: 9.030729.1 SP 1
Crystal Reports 2008: 12.3.0.601
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Dear all good morning from Greece.
First of all, i like to thank you for your quick respond.
Dear Ludek Uher,
1. Yes, this is from a .NET (3.5) application with VB.
2. I do the export via code.
3. From the CR designer i have the same problem.
Dear David Hilton,
The photo, is not working.
I found the option "On Each Page" from the CR designer and i changed it. Now i get the page number on every page but i can see that something is wrong with the page height and with the end of the page of the report.
I will try to show you the problem of the Excel file, after the option "On Each Page":
Header........................
Field1 field2 field3 ......
row1 .......
row2 ......
row3.....
row56 ......
{end of page 1}
{new page 2}
row57
row58
row59
Page 1 of 4 (the footer of the first page must be in the first page, but it shown in the second page)
row60
row61
row62
{end of page 2}
{new page 3}
row110
row111
row112
Page 2 of 4 (the footer of the second page must be in the second page, but it shown in the third page)
row140
row141
row142
{end of page 3}
{new page 4}
and go on.....
I hope this helped.
If i change the margins from Page Break Preview in Excel, the pages are OK. So i thing that something conflicts with the end of the page. The report does not understand the end of the page.
If there is a way to send you the file or screen shots, please tell me how.
Thank you in advance again.
Best regards,
