Open a file in desktop

[#1]

Hi,

I want to open a 600 MB file on my local machine.(Desktop) but unable to due to less RAM. Other than increasing the RAM, is there any other solution to it?

Thanks.

Do you need all the data or are do you need to open it just for the purposes of reviewing the document (script/UI or whatever)?

If you dont need all the data you could use the 'first' prefix before load statements to reduce the number of records loaded to reduce the document size.

Or how about using 'reduce data'?

Regards,

Hi Gordon,

Is 'first' a keyword? To what extent does it reduce the data size?

Thanks.

you can give your own count number to retrive the rows..

For eg:

I want to retrive only 10 records from dataset then..

First 10

Load * from

Sample.qvd;
