Dear all, We provide you with a new and fresh version of BaseX, our open source XML framework, database system and XQuery 3.1 processor: https://basex.org/ Apart from our main focus (query rewritings and optimizations), we have added the following enhancements: XQUERY: MODULES, FEATURES - Archive Module, archive:write: stream large archives to file - SQL Module: support for more SQL types - Full-Text Module, ft:thesaurus: perform Thesaurus queries - Fulltext, fuzzy search: specify Levenshtein limit - UNROLLLIMIT option: control limit for unrolling loops XQUERY: JAVA BINDINGS - Java objects of unknown type are wrapped into function items - results of constructor calls are returned as function items - the standard package "java.lang." has become optional - array arguments can be specified with the middle dot notation - conversion can be controlled with the WRAPJAVA option - better support for XQuery arrays and maps WEB APPLICATIONS - RESTXQ: Server-Timing HTTP headers are attached to the response For a more comprehensive list of added and updated features, look into our documentation (docs.basex.org) and check out the GitHub issues (github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues).

recursively used variables
by Rob Stapper 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hi, The code[1] below and send as attachment generates a error message: “Static variable depends on itself: $Q{http://www.w3.org/2005/xquery-local-functions}test”. I use these variables to refer to my private functions in my modules so I can easyly refer to them in a inheritance situation. It’s not a big problem for me but I was wondering if the error-triggering is justified or that it should work. [1]=========================================== declare variable $local:test := local:test#1 ; declare %private function local:test( $i) { if ( $i > 0) then $local:test( $i - 1) } ; $local:test( 10) =========================================== Kind regards, Rob Stapper Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

XQuery output without namespace declaration
by Yann NICOLAS (ABES) 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Hi all, I am looking for the equivalent instruction of XSLT attribute @omit-xml-declaration in XQuery. My input is : > <marc> > <marc:record *xmlns:marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim" > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"*> > <marc:leader>01321nam a22002772a 4500</marc:leader> > <c level="item"> > <did> > <unitid type="division">1808001595</unitid> > </did> > </c> > </marc:record> > <marc> My query is : > declare namespace marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim"; > > for $record in db:open('marcxml_full')/marc/marc:record > return > insert node $record/c into db:open('uk_parlement_ead')/dsc The ouput is : > <c *xmlns:marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim" > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" *level="item"> > <did> > <unitid type="division">1808001595</unitid> > </did> > </c> As you can see, there are no marc: elements in this output, hence no need for the marc: namespace. How to get rid of @xmlns:marc and xmlns:xsi ? Thanks a lot for your help ! Regards Yann

EMail module and javax.activation.DataSource
by dudzikp＠yahoo.com 25 Aug '21

25 Aug '21

Dear all, I am trying to use a basex Email module http://files.basex.org/modules/org/basex/modules/email/EMail.jar. I downloaded a new basex instance (9.6 version) and added this jar to lib directory. Based on the xquery/email.xq file I created the following file: import module namespace email = 'http://basex.org/modules/email/EMail'; let $mail := <email> <from>myuser@machine-office</from> <to>myuser@machine-office</to> <host>localhost</host> <subject>Hello!</subject> <message>Enjoy</message> </email> return email:send($mail) While running the file I obtain: Stopped at /home/myuser/Downloads/basex/file, 12/13: [XPTY0004] javax.activation.DataSource. Caused by: org.basex.modules.email.EMail:send(element()). What's the problem? Shouldn't I use this module? BR

org.basex.core.BaseXException with no error message
by Matthew Dziuban 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Hi all, I'm using the java ClientSession class defined in the basex-api module and I'm seeing intermittent org.basex.core.BaseXException errors with an empty error message when executing long-running read queries or CREATE DB commands. The stack trace of the most recent error points to ClientSession.receive ( https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/blob/9.5.2/basex-core/src/main/java/org/ba… ) org.basex.core.BaseXException: org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.receive(ClientSession.java:190) org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.send(ClientSession.java:178) org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.send(ClientSession.java:215) org.basex.api.client.ClientSession.create(ClientSession.java:128) ... Unfortunately since the message is empty it's difficult to debug what's going wrong. I've checked the log files in basex/data/.logs but haven't found any information about the failure. Is there another place I can look? Or do you have any other recommendations for debugging the errors? Thanks in advance, Matt

Polling break for loop
by Adam Law 15 Aug '21

15 Aug '21

If polling a url n times and breaking if response is 'completed', is the best to approach to use try catch and error() to get around immutability? I need the full response on complete so I redo the last http get. It is not a biggie requesting twice.

for-each issue on child-elements
by Rob Stapper 14 Aug '21

14 Aug '21

Hi Christian, I encountered this erroneous behavior while using the for-each-function on a set with child-elements. The evident work-around [2] workd fine. I’m using BaseX 9.6 RC2. I attached the code as attachment. Hope this helps. [1] let $context := <A><B1><C11></C11><C12></C12></B1><B2><C21></C21></B2></A> let $context.processor := function( $context as element( ) , $context.processor as function(*) ) as map(*) { map { $context => name() : $context/child::* => for-each( $context.processor( ? , $context.processor ) ) } } return $context => $context.processor( $context.processor ) [2] let $context := <A><B1><C11></C11><C12></C12></B1><B2><C21></C21></B2></A> let $context.processor := function( $context as element( ) , $context.processor as function(*) ) as map(*) { map { $context => name() : $context/child::* => for-each( function( $child as element( ) ) { $child => $context.processor( $context.processor ) } ) } } return $context => $context.processor( $context.processor ) Rob Sent from Mail for Windows -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
