From: Michael Linfield Date: 2008-04-02T17:08:47+09:00 Subject: FasterCSV heavy loads? Recently I've attempted to push a huge csv into arrays via code that looks along the lines of this: csvFile = FasterCSV.read('data.csv', :headers => true) array = [] csvFile.each do |row| array << row['column_name'] end The problem arises when the csv file is someodd 2 million lines or more. Normally I would comment about how long it took but I decided to call it quits after 9 hours of waiting lol. Any ideas on how to handle columns in CSV docs the same way FasterCSV does? (And yes, theoretically I could split the 80mb csv into 20 4mb files but whats the accomplishment in that!) Thanks, - Mac -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
