Query Cache?
by Christopher Yocum 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Dear List, I have a query (included below) which uses full text searching and it is fairly slow using BaseX 7.9 (5-8 seconds). I was wondering if there was a query cache implemented in BaseX? I ask because the GUI seems to keep a cache around because the same query goes from 5000ms to 204ms if I run it twice in the GUI. The query looks like this: declare variable $term as xs:string external; declare variable $col as xs:string external; <results>{subsequence(ft:mark(for $x in collection($col)//entry where $x//text()[. contains text {$term} using wildcards] order by fn:lower-case(fn:replace(($x//orth[1]/text())[1], '\\p{P}|\\d+','')) collation \"?lang=ga\" return $x), 1, 5000)}</results> Thanks for any help you can provide. Chris Yocum

Downloading files
by Lars Johnsen 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

I am using BaseX restxq for accessing a repository from a web browser. Uploading files works smoothly, but I can't see how to make a download button work. For uploading, the recipie on the restxq help page was enough to get it to work. Is there a corresponding way for making downloading work? What I have tried is to let BaseX send a html-page containing: <form method="get" action="/download/{$file}"> <button type="submit">Download</button> </form> To process this form is the following restfunction declare %rest:path("/download/{$file}") %output:method("html") function page:download-file($file) { ... } Inside the curly braces, I have tried an <a href..> element and file:read-binary, but none of them with any success. BaseX complains about the <a> element, and file:read-binary outputs directly to the browser. Any suggestions?

Why does BaseX create empty System-properties
by rune.engh＠fatax.no 21 Aug '14

Thanks Christian, it works! So does the previous snapshot. I probably experienced some classloading/caching issues of the BaseX79.jar in my IDE. In any case - my bad. I do not know where setProperty('user.timezone','Europe/Oslo') comes from. Thanks again for your great help! Best Rune

MIXUPDATES?
by Marco Lettere 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi all, I wanted to start using the MIXUPDATES feature steadily but whatever latest version I download it's always telling basex80/basex/.basex: Unknown option 'MIXUPDATES'. I am pretty sure I already tried it few months ago so now I'm pretty clueless. Could anyone please point me to the right package to download? Thank you, Marco. P.S. I tried with http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/BaseX80-20140814.235204.zip and http://files.basex.org/releases/BaseX-latest.zip

random:integer vs. random:seeded-integer
by Amanda Galtman 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, Is it intentional that random:integer lets you use zero or a negative value for $max, but random:seeded-integer errors out in those cases? I know these are edge cases. I'm only flagging them because of the inconsistency between the two similar functions. (: Returns (0,0). :) (random:integer(0),random:integer(-5)) (: Errors out :) random:seeded-integer(31,1,0) (: Errors out :) random:seeded-integer(31,1,-5) Here is the error information from the last command above. Error: Improper use? Potential bug? Your feedback is welcome: Contact: basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Version: BaseX 7.9 Java: Oracle Corporation, 1.7.0_25 OS: Windows 7, amd64 Stack Trace: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: n must be positive at java.util.Random.nextInt(Unknown Source) at org.basex.query.func.FNRandom$1.next(FNRandom.java:85) at org.basex.query.MainModule$1.next(MainModule.java:98) at org.basex.query.QueryContext.execute(QueryContext.java:598) at org.basex.query.QueryProcessor.execute(QueryProcessor.java:101) at org.basex.core.cmd.AQuery.query(AQuery.java:82) at org.basex.core.cmd.XQuery.run(XQuery.java:22) at org.basex.core.Command.run(Command.java:329) at org.basex.core.Command.execute(Command.java:94) at org.basex.gui.GUI.exec(GUI.java:417) at org.basex.gui.GUI.access$500(GUI.java:41) at org.basex.gui.GUI$8.run(GUI.java:361) Cheers, Amanda

Why does BaseX create empty System-properties
by rune.engh＠fatax.no 19 Aug '14

19 Aug '14

Hi, we do not use a different proxy port. I traced the System.setProperty class. When executing new Context() I got the following: setProperty('http.proxyHost','') setProperty('http.proxyPort','80') setProperty('https.proxyHost','') setProperty('https.proxyPort','80') setProperty('user.timezone','Europe/Oslo') +++ I also traced the Context class and verified that it was part of BaseX80-20140814.235204.jar Best Rune
