Joining a varying number of information sources (with XQuery)?
by Markus Elfring 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hello, It is supported to specify a fixed number of information sources for a for clause. https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#id-xquery-for-clause I imagine that the selection of for bindings can occasionally vary so much and might become so big that it would be needed to construct FLWOR expressions by more sophisticated data structures. I guess that the specification of consistent join conditions (and related constraints) would become more challenging. Can any programming interfaces help further to work with such use cases? https://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_Module Regards, Markus

Improving the understanding for counting of entries in data groups
by Markus Elfring 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hello, I constructed the following XML file for another test of the software “BaseX 9.7”. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <test_data> <info> <id>12</id> <topics> <topic>Demo1</topic> <topic>Demo2</topic> </topics> </info> <info> <id>23</id> <topics> <topic>Demo1</topic> <topic>Demo2</topic> </topics> </info> <info> <id>34</id> <topics> <topic>Test1</topic> <topic>Test2</topic> <topic>Test3</topic> </topics> </info> <info> <id>45</id> <topics> <topic>Test1</topic> <topic>Test2</topic> <topic>Test3</topic> </topics> </info> <info> <id>56</id> <topics> <topic>Test1</topic> <topic>Test2</topic> <topic>Test3</topic> </topics> </info> <info> <id>67</id> <topics> <topic>Probe1</topic> </topics> </info> </test_data> I tried the following XQuery script out accordingly. declare option output:method "csv"; declare option output:csv "header=yes, separator=|"; for $x in //test_data/info group by $topics := string-join($x/topics/topic/data(), "*") let $incidence := count($topics) order by $incidence descending return <csv> <record> <topic_combination>{$topics}</topic_combination> <incidence>{$incidence}</incidence> </record> </csv> Corresponding test result: topic_combination|incidence Demo1*Demo2|1 Test1*Test2*Test3|1 Probe1|1 I would like to see the numbers “2” and “3” instead at the end of two rows for such a data analysis approach. I would appreciate further advices for this use case. Regards, Markus

CVE-2022-22965: Spring framework 0-day remote code execution vulnerability
by Bülow, Gilles 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi all, to exclude issues with BaseX and the topic in this email-subject (CVE-2022-22965: Spring framework 0-day remote code execution vulnerability<https://securityboulevard.com/2022/04/spring4shell-vulnerability-cve-2022-2…>) I would like to know if BaseX could possibly be affected by the problem discussed and if so, when there is an update scheduled which can solve this problem. Thanks in advance for replies Regards Gilles other links: https://www.dfn-cert.de/aktuell/0day-schwachstelle-spring-framework-apache-… https://tanzu.vmware.com/security/cve-2022-22965 -- Dr.-Ing.

Closing a socketconnection
by Ben Engbers 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi, While reading the basexdbc.c code from Alexander Holupirek, I saw that he explicitly sends the 'exit' command to the server before closing the socket. I couldn't find anything on this command in the client server protocol. Is it necessary to send this command to the server? If so what is the effect of sending this command? Ben Engbers

BaseX Query Performance
by Darryl Pretto 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

Hi, I have a BaseX 9.0 instance running on Jetty 9.4.8 on RHEL 7.9. I run many different types of queries on several thousand XML files, about 10gb total source files. These queries take several hours to complete. While I have been able to rewrite queries here and there to optimize them, I am wondering what is the best way to increase BaseX query performance overall. When I check the server CPU and memory neither of them have high utilization. The CPU use varies but mostly is at 12%. The memory use is similar. I have allocated 8gb of memory to Jetty via the Java options settings: -Xms8g -Xmx8g Are there any other resources I can check or change to increase overall query speed? Thanks, Darryl

Re: [basex-talk] Checking the display of line breaks in the info view
by Markus Elfring 12 Apr '22

12 Apr '22

> What do you mean with space character? I suggest to take a closer look at the differences from a display like “``["line 1 line 2 line 3"]``” in comparison to the mentioned test example. Would you find any other representation more appropriate here? Regards, Markus

Basexgui Feature suggestion
by Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g) 11 Apr '22

11 Apr '22

It would be handy if there was a way to bind results to current context for additional inspection/investigation/query of results. Currently, it seems, you would have to save results to a file and then create database from that file to make an additional query on results. That binding would be available from editor or input bar. Or perhaps alternatively, it could include an option to base visualizations on results instead of open database — although I’m guessing the former would be easier to implement than the latter. — Steve Majewski

User group meeting in Prague?
by Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

Fellow BaseX Users! You might have heard that XML Prague 2022 will take place in June. (Unless the then-prevalent Greek letter makes it impossible even in that time of year, of course.) I asked Christian whether the BaseX team will organize a user group meeting after it had not happened for years now. Christian didn’t seem to be very fond of organizing such a meeting. I asked him whether he would be available to present new features, the roadmap, and for a Q&A session if the users themselves organized such a meeting. He agreed, and therefore I hereby ask the list members whether anyone will join me in organizing this. The plan looks as follows: We will apply for one or two 90-minute slots via the CFP process (https://www.xmlprague.cz/cfp/). We don’t need to have a fixed schedule yet by Dec. 20 (end of CFP date as currently announced – it will be extended anyway). Christian was so kind as to create a new repo, user-group, on Github. We will use one or more of its Wiki pages [1] in order to plan the event. The page will eventually evolve into an agenda if you agree. Looking forward to meeting many of you in Prague in June. And another organizing volunteer (or other volunteers), please come forward. Maybe we can also deal with it in the Wiki [2].

Checking the display of line breaks in the info view
by Markus Elfring 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

Hello, I tried the following XQuery script out with the software “BaseX 9.7”. let $t1 := ``[line 1 line 2]``, $t2 := ``[line 3 line 4]`` return ('"' || $t1 || '"', "---", '"' || $t2 || '"') I observed the following display then in the info view. “… Optimized Query: ("""line 1
line 2""", "---", """line 3
line 4""") Query: let $t1 := ``[line 1 line 2]``, $t2 := ``[line 3 line 4]`` return ('"' || $t1 || '"', "---", '"' || $t2 || '"') …” May I expect that original line breaks will be preserved in the shown query display? Regards, Markus

html document retrieval runs out of main memory
by Graydon Saunders 09 Apr '22

09 Apr '22

Hello -- I'm using the basexgui to run (minus some identifying actual values defined previously in the query) (: for each path, retrieve the document :) for $remote in $paths let $name as xs:string := file:name($remote) let $target as xs:string := file:resolve-path($name,$targetBase) let $fetched := http:send-request(<http:request method='get' override-media-type='application/octet-stream' username='{$id}' password='{$pass}' />, $remote)[2] let $use as item() := try { html:parse($fetched) } catch * { $fetched } return if ($use instance of document-node()) then file:write($target,$use) else file:write-binary($target,$use) It works, in that I get exactly 100 documents retrieved. (There are unfortunately 140+ documents in the list.) However, the query fails with an "out of main memory" error when using a recent 10.0 beta or 9.7 with Xmx set to 2g. Setting Xmx to 16g with 9.7 produces the same "out of memory" error in the same length of time (about 5 minutes). java -version says 20:27 test % java -version openjdk version "11.0.14.1" 2022-02-08 OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.14.1+1) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.14.1+1, mixed mode, sharing) It's entirely possible I'm going about fetching files off a web server the wrong way; it's possible there's something there that's rather large, but I doubt it's that large. What should I be doing instead? Thanks! Graydon
