Hi! I'm writing an application dealing with a large amout of information (text), divided into different sections. My first idea was to use XML files to store the information, but the MAX SIZE of uncompressed files used in applications (resources found in R.xml.file_name) is about 1024 kB (from what I understand). The information, divided into two sections (XML files) still was larger than MAX SIZE.
Now, what is the best way to tackle this problem? The application requires the information from the start, so it's not content added by the user. Should I use a database? Then, when installing the application, an SQL script must run. This is why I first choosed to use XML files, since they are simple to add to the project. Should I split the information into many more sections, say about to 25-30 XML files? Is this way better than using a database? Or could I compress the XML files from the start an then uncompress them with Java when program starts? So, what option is best?
