How to open Big sql dump files
If you are having huge sql dump files or probably big size of wordpad/text files then you won’t be able to open them in wordpad or notepad. Notepad only supports file sizes upto 32 MB and wordpad will always hang and will stop responding while opening big files.
So the only way of opening big sql dump files or huge wordpad files (size of few 100 MB’s to even in GB’s) is to use one of the two softwares.
1. UltraEdit - UltraEdit is a Great Software and text editor which can open text files of any size, even if they are in Gigabytes. The Free version can be downloaded from the website and is good enough to be used for such purposes.
2. PSPad - PSPad is another software aka text editor which can be used to open huge sqp dump files and big text files. You can download it from the given url.

Hello,
Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning these two programs. I have a 513MB .SQL file and found that PSPad couldn’t open it, however UltraEdit opened it perfectly. So thanks once again.
