Santosh,
In reply to your query, you will find some details of how DeltaXML
can deal with large files at
http://www.deltaxml.com/comparing-large-files.html The file sizes
tested are up to 60Mb. However, you should be able to process larger
files on a larger system but you would need to evaluate this on your
system.
If the DeltaXML output is not what you need, then you can easily
convert it with XSL to what you do need (some XSL processors will
deal with large files, but the delta file should be small anyway,
because DeltaXML does not include unchanged data in the delta file
unless you specifically ask for this).
We are not aware of any other system that will deal with such large
files, though the following reference may also be useful to you:
"Detecting Changes in XML documents" - academic paper:
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/~cobena/Publications/xmldiff_ICDE2002final.pdf
This is for presentation at ICDE 2002: Feb 26 - Mar 01, San Jose,
California - http://www.research.telcordia.com/society/icde2002/
This is research work though, so it will not solve your problem
today. It also needs mapping files to relate the delta file to the
originals so you do not get the output you need.
Best regards,
Robin

DeltaXML will give you exactly what you need here.
