Hi Christian,
The DBA looks good. One comment inspired by a quick play with it. It does not show the name of the logged in user. Indeed I have previously looked to get this information and it does not seem to be available via any BaseX function. Is this intentional?

Hi all,
This is yet another update on the next, upcoming version of BaseX:
We have added a new database administration (DBA) web frontend to our ZIP and EXE distributions. It allows you to create and administrate databases, evaluate queries in realtime, view log files, manage users, and more. It was completely written with XQuery and RESTXQ, apart from a few lines of Javascript code.
The new frontend was added due to the known shortcomings of the Java GUI, which cannot be used to run queries on other servers. As a consequence, we have removed the server dialog from the desktop application. We hope that DBA will help you to write your own web applications based on RESTXQ!
Some more infos and design goals can be found in our Wiki [1].
Have fun, we are looking forward to your feedback, Christian
PS: NO, the web frontend does not provide all the cute features of the desktop gui, like the treemap, scatterplot, syntax highlighting, etc… But it may provide some of them in future. Your contributions are welcome!
