Architecture Question
by Mansi Sheth 22 Oct '14

22 Oct '14

Hello, I have been going thru and comparing different Native XML Databases and so far I am liking BaseX. However, there are still a few questions unanswered, before I make a final choice: 1. I have 1000s of XML files (each between 50MB-400MB) and this is going to grow exponentially (~200 / per day). So, my question is how scalable is BaseX ? Can I configure it to use data from my external HDD, in my initial prototype ? 2. I plan to heavily use XPATH, for data retrieval. Does BaseX, use any multi-processing, multi-threading to speed up search ? Any concurrent processing ? 3. Can I do some post-processing on searched and retrieved data ? Like sorting, unique elements etc ? - Mansi

Using TcpCatcher as a proxy with Basex Client
by Arto Viitanen 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

I am debugging a Basex client built in C#. The client is based on the Git Hub example https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/tree/master/basex-api/src/main/c%23. The problem is, every now and then the client drops the session. It might be, that the client drops the connection if the server takes too much time to answer (or something). So I need some way to emulate slow connection or connection dropping packages. I downloaded TcpCatcher (http://www.tcpcatcher.org/) and set it as a proxy (client talks to 21984; TcpCatcher catches packages and send them to BaseX listening to 11984). But It seems that BaseX does not respond. I took BasexClient.cs and Example.cs from the github and tried with them. I get three packages; one coming from the server and two going to client; but after that nothing. The Example prints "Access Denied". I guess this comes from: socket = new TcpClient(host, port); stream = socket.GetStream(); ehost = host; string ts = Receive(); Send(username); Send(MD5(MD5(pw) + ts)); if (stream.ReadByte() != 0) { throw new IOException("Access denied."); } that is: client gets ts (timestamp?), sends username and password with timestamp; but receives nothing. So how can I use TcpCatcher (or other proxy program) with Basex client? (Basex 7.7; windows 7) Arto Viitanen Microteam Oy

Templating
by Emmanuel Chateau 18 Oct '14

Hi, I’ve been trying to use the templating proposed by Andy Bunce here http://cubeb.blogspot.fr/2012/11/xquery-templating-engines-and-txq.html https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2012-November/004209.h… I’ve tried with txq module in different ways. But, I can’t figure out why I couldn’t reproduce it. Here is the simpler exemple I’ve tried : In the webapp folder an xml file, named `view1.xml` wich contains : ```xml <div>{map:get($map, 'greeting')}</div> ``` In webapp a restxq file with : ```xquery module namespace test = 'test.test'; import module namespace xquery = "http://basex.org/modules/xquery"; declare function test:render($template as xs:string, $map as map(*)){ xquery:invoke($template,$map) }; declare %restxq:path('/test') %restxq:GET function test:test(){ let $map := map{ "greeting" : "hello", "who": "world"} return test:render('view1.xml', $map ) }; ``` Arrêté à /Users/emmanuelchateau/Documents/basex/webapp/view1.xq, 1/15: [XPST0008] Undefined variable $map. I’m running BaseX version 7.9 Is there still anybody with this kind of templating running ? Thanks a lot for your help. Emmanuel

Web hosting
by spaelti 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

I have now tried BaseX web server on my own machine, and it works great. But what I would really like to do is to use it on my website. This website is on a commercial web provider. Is it possible to use BaseX in such a situation? How does one go about this? Would I need to ask the commercial provider to install BaseX? Or is there some other web site hosting method, that one can use? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Philip Spaelti spaelti(a)mac.com

Fw: Suggestion for a requirement
by Sateesh 16 Oct '14

16 Oct '14

? Hi Basex Team, We are starting a new project in that we have selected to use basex,i would tell you my requirement,request you to please suggest the best way to use basex. We have started a web application in that we have a requirement to create xml db's per user based means each user who logs in we need to create DB's on his xml files in the backend,for this we dont want to use the client-server architecture of the basex as we dont want that extra time to hit a http server request to basex server and get the response,what we would want is to create the DB's execute queries and drop the DB's with in the same web application and also please note that we dont have a requirement to edit the DB's data we would only read the data from those DB's by executing the queries and also note that volumes of the xml files are very huge they might go up to gb's also and query output will also be in huge volume and also we must make sure that this huge volumes of query output will not eatup all the heap memory as the number of parallel users using this site are very high and we cannot afford to go out of memory.Also we would need to configure the DB paths as this are huge volumes we cannot store them in the default locations to. Considering all the above points request you to please suggest the best way to use basex. Our web application is developed in java.Though we have used basex in our earlier projects some where i feel that we did not used it properly and gone through problems and the kind of support we got from your team in solving them earlier was immense and this time we want to go in a more systematic way so request you to please help us by suggesting the best way.

Xpath gives multiple results, finding the one originating from the latest imported document?
by Sam Eklund 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

A quick question, I have this simple xquery to retrieve a node that sometimes has multiple hits, and for this reason I am using the function: head. This gives me the first node that matches the xpath, but is there a way to retrieve the node that originates from the latest imported document? My current query: xquery head (//event[eventID="12345ABC"]) // Sam

Question re starting basexhttp
by spaelti 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

I have been trying to run BaseX as a web application on my mac. After some difficulties I have gotten it to work. However there is one thing that I am still unsure about. Whenever I start the web server using ‘basexhttp’ I get the following message: /usr/local/bin/basexhttp: line 11: cd: /usr/local/Cellar/basex/7.9/libexec/../basex: No such file or directory However everything thereafter seems to work fine. So why do I get this message, or what does it mean? In my installation (which I got through the brew script) there is no ‘basex’ file/folder at the specified location (which would be in the ‘7.9’ folder). Should there be? Any help or advice would be much appreciated. best Philip This is what /usr/local/Cellar/basex looks like: ---- basex 7.9 bin changelog.txt INSTALL_RECEIPT.json libexec BaseX.jar bin lib webapp license.txt readme.txt ---- --------------------------------------------------- Philip Spaelti Kobe Shoin Women's University, Graduate school ---------------------------------------------------

zsh plugin
by Dirk Kirsten 12 Oct '14

12 Oct '14

Hello, if any of you uses the excellent zshell, you might be interested in this small plugin for BaseX for the zsh: https://github.com/dirkk/zsh-basex. Aliases might also be useful for every other shell user, because they basically shorten all basex commands (e.g. bx is defined as an alias for basex).

BaseX Cluster Solution based on Galera Cluster
by Jaco van der Merwe 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi All, We have recently started using the Galera Cluster for MySQL which works really well as either a single or a multi-master cluster with semi-synchronous replication. See http://galeracluster.com/ for more information. The nice thing about the Galera Cluster is that the cluster and replication management functionality has been abstracted and extracted into a component (actually an .so file) called the WSREP provider. The latter provides hooks that can be integrated into your DB. I was thinking that this could be a very nice solution for providing a cluster solution for BaseX. So my question is whether anybody out there has done this already for BaseX, or may have plans for doing this. Thanks Jaco
