console versus gui
by thufir 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Are the console and GUI in "sync"? By which I mean, can a database in the GUI not list from the console, and vice versa? I'm wondering if this perhaps relates to using BaseX as db server. I notice that my Java application can create and delete databases fine, but, it seems that that only the GUI can view those databases. Perhaps there's a way to migrate them from the GUI to the console? I'd like it consistent across access through the Java hooks, GUI and console. Or, perhaps I'm just writing bad code. I asked on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/q/54028203/262852 thanks, Thufir

Setting modification timestamp (for content migrated over WebDAV) over REST?
by Andreas Jung 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

As part of a migration we move data into BaseX over WebDAV. It would be neat if we could preserver the original timestamp. I am aware that it is not possible to set the timestamp over WebDAV. Would it be possible to set the modified timestamp for particular resource over the resource API or is this timestamp tied to storage internals of BaseX? Andreas

XQuery from Java
by thufir 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

I'm a tad more proficient with BaseX, but, how do I actually build an XQuery? Yes, I can write an XQuery and save it in a text file, then use BaseX for execution. But it would be far more flexible to write the actual XQuery from within Java itself. But how? Oracle gives an example: OXQDataSource ds = new OXQDataSource(); XQConnection con = ds.getConnection(); String query = "<hello-world>{1 + 1}</hello-world>"; XQPreparedExpression expr = con.prepareExpression(query); XQSequence result = expr.executeQuery(); using their datasource. Cannot BaseX do something similar? see also: https://stackoverflow.com/q/53996575/262852 thanks, Thufir

upper limits on storage; database admin
by thufir 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

What are the upper bounds to basex in size? Assuming it's just text xml, gigabytes is quite a bit to my thinking. At a certain, it's "big data" -- but how do you know when you're approaching that point? Or, is the bottleneck more read/write and consistency problems? What little I know of RDBMS is that master/slave can alleviate some bottlenecks. To put this another way: I'm so enthusiastic about basex that I'm having trouble finding a place it doesn't fit. As you approach terabytes and beyond what dbadmin approaches are employed? -Thufir

Bulk import (moving from eXist to BaseX)
by Andreas Jung 03 Jan '19

03 Jan '19

Hi there, consider moving my XML stuff for a particular project from eXist to BaseX. I have a full dump from eXist with all related content and I want to import it 1:1 into BaseX…is there a bulk loader or what is the preferred way to import an existing folder structure? Of course I can create my own script what would import the data through WebDAV but the dump has about 50.000 files. Andreas

console usage

How can I run this script? thufir@dur:~/basex$ thufir@dur:~/basex$ basex [warning] /usr/bin/basex: Unable to locate /usr/share/java/jing.jar in /usr/share/java BaseX 9.0.1 [Standalone] Try 'help' to get more information. > > RUN fetch.note.text.xq Resource "/home/thufir/fetch.note.text.xq" not found. > > exit Have fun. thufir@dur:~/basex$ thufir@dur:~/basex$ cat fetch.note.text.xq fetch:xml("https://www.w3schools.com/xml/note.xml", map { 'chop': true() }) thufir@dur:~/basex$ The script seems to work fine from the GUI. thanks, Thufir

JSON serialization/compatibility with exist-db JSON?
by Andreas Jung 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi there, I have an issue with the migration of an XQuery script from eXist to Basex: The link https://gist.github.com/zopyx/467a01264d53bdaa48ad27cd553cfda8 shows the script and the expected (status quo) output for XML and JSON. Calling the script using /rest/foo/?run=foo.xql&method=json generates an HTTP response with Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8 but the output is a quoted XML string like: "<item><uri>\/foo\/de\/ayapedia\/addendums\/ernaehrung_9861fc6a-ba68-11e8-a8a1-001c4210b7a0\/current-20180920-111838.bak\/xml\/index.xml<\/uri><title>Ernährung<\/title><description\/><language>de<\/language><status>current<\/status><area>ayapedia<\/area><path\/><date>2018-09<\/date><url\/><atc_code\/><guideline_id>bef53078-2d8d-42d1-af8c-b3d387dfa52e<\/guideline_id><plone_uuid>464520ec154a42839b9f5d2635caccaf<\/plone_uuid><old_authors_additional\/><authors_additional>für den Arbeitskreis Ernährung, Stoffwechsel und Bewegung der DGHO<\/authors_additional><documenttype>ayapedia<\/documenttype><societies xmlns:json=\"http:\/\/basex.org\/modules\/json\" json:array=\"true\">dgho<\/societies><guideline_topics xmlns:json=\"http:\/\/basex.org\/modules\/json\" json:array=\"true\">183<\/guideline_topics><authors xmlns:json=\"http:\/\/ basex.org\/modules\/json\" json:array=\"true\">9211<\/authors><authors xmlns:json=\"http:\/\/basex.org\/modules\/json\" json:array=\"true\">5577<\/authors><authors xmlns:json=\"http:\/\/basex.org\/modules\/json\" json:array=\"true\">13728<\/authors><authors xmlns:json=\"http:\/\/basex.org\/modules\/json\" json:array=\"true\">373215<\/authors><\/item>" Calling /rest/foo/?run=foo.xql&method=json&json=format=jsonml" finally generates JSON but not in the related format. Isn't the JSON serialization supposed being standardized and compatible? Or how can I generate a JSON result that is compatible with the existing JSON response from eXist-dB? Andreas

Scaling and Jsoniq
by Ben Pracht 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

Hi, I'm sorry if this was covered earlier, but I haven't seen it in a Google search. First, are there any support plans for scaling outwards? I know MarkLogic has splits clusters into multiple enodes and dnodes. But the idea is that there isn't one central bottleneck for requests. Second, I read about Jsoniq and was intrigued by it. It seemed like it supported JSON without requiring an XML intermediary. Having good JSON support would really help with frameworks like Angular or React. I really love Basex overall though and think it's underrated for what it can do. Regards, Ben

basic xquery
by thufir 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

How can I run this xquery: fetch:xml("http://books.toscrape.com/", map { 'parser': 'html', 'htmlparser': map { 'html': false(), 'nodefaults': true() } }) from basex using Java? I can run that xquery from the GUI. thanks, Thufir

update:output() update:cache()
by Dieter Zanzinger 02 Jan '19

02 Jan '19

I do not exactly understand, for which purpose update:output() is meant. Does anybody have an example, where one can see, how it works? (There is no example in the docs.) (I am searching for a way, to run a update-expression on a database and give the altered nodes as result back to the restq-user in one query. The update:output() or update:cache() - expression sounded like they do something similar… At present, i am helping me with a copy/modify/return-solution and am giving back the altered result, before I actually write back the result-node of the previous to the db. But I am searching for a more intuitive way to get this result). Sincerly Dieter
