(27 million records) I used DTS and it did take a while, but 74mb should process quite quickly. Might be worth checking the server spec? Best of luck, Jenny -----Original Message----- From: Martin Thorpe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 26 July 2006 13:36 To: CF-Talk Subject: reading large text file Hello all. I am uploading a 74 + MB tab delimited text file that I am then reading and inserting the values into a database. The problem is it always times out, or just takes too long (did not finish over night!!!!) to read the file. It is uploaded fine. Any suggestions about how I may approach this to make it work with such large files? I looked at a bit of Java code someone had posted here but it went no quicker really. I was thinking of maybe chopping the file into slices and then processing but not too sure how I would approach this. Any opinions or ideas/tips would be gratefully accepted. Thanks for reading.
