[jira] Commented: (XERCESC-1857) unique/key constraint on non string field/attriibute slows validation 6x times vs string attriibute

----------------------------------------

Yes, please zip up the schema files, the XML document, and the code so someone can investigate.

> I have prepared a fairly small schema with 'xs:unique' constraint on nested element.
> <xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
>   <xs:element name="el1">
>     <xs:element name="el2">
>       <xs:element name="el3">
>                         <xs:attribute name="key"                 type="xs:string" use="required"/>
> <!--                        <xs:attribute name="key"                 type="xs:unsignedInt" use="required"/>-->
>       </xs:element name>
>         <xs:unique name="uniqCreativeKey">
>               <xs:selector xpath="cam:creative"/>
>               <xs:field    xpath="@key"/>
>          </xs:unique>
>     </xs:element name>
>   </xs:element name>
> </xs:schema>
> I need to validate a relatively large xml (~ 100Kb) against this schema.
> Load + validation take about 10s and process consumes ~100Mb of memory. I am using SAX, not DOM.
> If I change schema definition slightly to make type of "unique" attribute to be unsignedInt instead of string - than code runs ~ 1min:10 sec (7 times slower) and also uses about 100Mb of RAM.
> Thus I have two questions:
> 1. Why parser requires 100Mb of RAM to load and validate 100Kb file 
> 2. Why changing attribute definition type from xs:string to xs:unsignedInt slows validation 7 times?
> I have built xerces myself from sources.
> ./configure --disable-shared --enable-netaccessor-socket --enable-msgloader-inmemory --prefix=/mnt/builder/3rdParty/xml/xerces-c/3.0.1 --libdir=/mnt/builder/3rdParty/xml/xerces-c/3.0.1/lib.gcc-3.4.6
> I can provide schema, xml and code that I am running.
