I'm using Dreamweaver 2018 CC and if the file is below 16 mb, it opens fine. If it's over, the tab opens, but there is nothing displayed. If I do a Find All, it even finds the items and shows what line they are on, but nothing displays in Code View. Since the file is an XML/Hybrid, it can't be opened in Live View. Is there a preference/config setting to display larger files?
Normally, a document of that size should not even be contemplated in web development. My guess is that you are using the file as a data file, in which case you may want to try Adobe FrameMaker (2017 release) - XML/DITA Editor

#1 I don't have a file that big to test.
#2 My biggest SQL weighs less than 2 MB. I also work with XML data but nothing close to 16 MB.

It is for data use mostly, but I can't afford the Adobe FrameMaker software at this time. Fortunately, I found some free XML editors that do the trick. Thanks for your help!

I often work with large XLM file... (i.e if you need to test edit the firefox bookmark... )... I haven't encounter any trouble opening it... but as soon as a search and replace is launched... no way... DW freeze and hang up

Not sure what your issue is, Dreamweaver is designed to take care of web documents that are usually not so large. If I were to open an SQL document, I would do so by using the correct tool. At the moment I use phpMyAdmin but there are others out there as per https://w3guy.com/alternatives-phpmyadmin/

Thank you for your answer.
It is indeed a very large file, but it is the content of a database of a large website. I thought, dreamweaver could do this, but I see, it is not able to. Sometimes I have to work with even big files. I downloaded notepad++ and it had no problems with the size. My options are now to split the file and work on each of these parts with dreamweaver or use notepad++ to work on the file as a whole. Not difficult to descide. I don't need all that stuff in dreamweaver, cause I just work on the code. So a small editor with syntax highliting for my comfort will do.
Sorry to say, but I have some issuses with adobe products and dreamweaver doesn't make it better.

You have made me curious. Why would you need Dreamweaver to work on an SQL file? What is it that you can do better in Dreamweaver or any other text editor that you cannot do in PHPMyAdmin? What code is there to fiddle around with when you can use SQL?
