xml row limit

>I wonder if there are any limit on how many rows there can be in a single xml fil.
I don't think so. Or, bigger than any parser can reasonably handle in reasonable time frame. For big xml file, you do have to be biased to use event-driven parser rather than dom parser which parses it into memory. But I can't give considered benchmark figures to back it up. It sure exists out there articles better than this after some search.

I've worked with XML files of more than 1gb in size. So the answer is no - your XML file can be as large as you need.
However, many of the tools currently available have significant problems with files that large. I had to write my own file handlers using SAX (a forward-only XML reader) because it just wasn't possible to load it into a DOM, or an editor like XMLSpy.
