Multiple queries in client API
by Michael CLEMENT 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hello, I am building a Django application using BaseX as its database, using a custom model layer with the Python API. Currently, I am using a single Session instance to connect to the BaseX server, but I am facing problems when multiple queries are sent at the same time. I didn't check how the client API works in details, but is it made in such a way that only one query at a time can be sent? Should I use a new Session instance for every single query sent to the server? Thanks in advance. Regards, Michael Clement

Proposition for the GUI features

Hi everyone! I have a nice idea, how to stop to crack the database, when user use GUI and server simultaneously. When GUI will found launched server, every updating functions should be executed through port, not directly. User may setup different connections (require list of connections), select the default connection, and choose method of connection: direct access or via saved one Sorry for my bad English. Alexander

Hi Anantha, sorry for the delay. It looks as if the current version of the PHP client API provides no implementation for more() and next() functions, so you should probably call execute() instead.

There should be a space::here! There should be a space::here! There should be a space: :here! There should be NO SPACE: :here! There should be NO SPACE:::here! So it failed all but two. The problem seems to lie in the doc() function. In fact if you just left what you found intact, you wouldn't wreck people's formatting too. You don't wreck things when processing let $k := <coordinates> 120.867029,24.167269,10  120.866931,24.167630,10  120.866832,24.167901,10  </coordinates> then why not do the same with doc()?

Pathname of the current XQuery?
by Graydon Saunders 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

I have the awful feeling that I'm missing something really obvious, but I want to be able to get the pathname of the current query, and I can't figure out how. The use case is that the query validates documents in the collection differently, based on the document element, and I want to refer to the different schema files (which sit, on the file system, right next to the file with the query in it) in a machine-independent way. So instead of let $decisionSchema := '/home/graydon/workspace/Content Standards/schemas/decisions_schema.xsd' I'd like to be able to say something like let $decisionSchema := concat(string-join(tokenize(get-query-path(),'/')[position() ne last()],'/'),'/decisions_schema.xsd') only I can't figure out what get-query-path() is. Thanks! Graydon

File module path encodings
by Andy Bunce 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi, The following two expressions create a file called "d d.txt" (Windows, BaseX 7.6) file:write("c:\temp\d d.txt","what") file:write("c:\temp\d%20d.txt","what") I wonder if it would not be better if the second would create a file "d%20d.txt"? My use case is creating a file name that encodes a path e.g. "lib%5Cfile.txt". The currently gives an error, as it is looking for a folder lib. I read http://expath.org/spec/file#d3e112 as meaning url encoded file names must start file:/// and if no file:/// the name should be used as is. /Andy

Letting users WRITE comments, but not READ them.
by France Baril 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hi, I am trying to secure access to some of our content. Case: 1. User reads our content and completes the feedback form. 2. A file is saved in our "Feedback" database for each form that is submitted. Security: - Let anonymous users WRITE to the DB using the web form - Do not allow unauthenticated users to READ comments. Solution so far to avoid making user/password known: 1. Save feedback in an unsecured DB. 2. Redirect to function that moves the feedback file to a secured DB. Issue: - Security seems to limit access to files when they are addressed as db:open(DB, path). - All functions that grab data, crunch the data and display it in an HTML table seem to remain available to everyone. Questions: - Instead of securing the DB, we were thinking of securing the functions: Open access to 'submit-comment' for all users, require authentication for all other functions. Is this possible, if so can you point me to useful documentation? - Do you have any other suggestion? -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com (514) 572-0341

quick dereferencing of elements found earlier
by C. M. Sperberg-McQueen 06 Apr '13

06 Apr '13

I'm experimenting with the construction of secondary documents which contain information about my primary documents. I won't go into details, but it would not be too far off to think of them as user-created indices -- my goal is to pre-calculate some information I expect to want often in queries, to see if using such secondary documents produces faster responses than running the original queries on the original documents. It would be handy to be able to point from my secondary documents to specific nodes (in my case, always elements, at least at the moment) of the primary documents. The same desire arises when I try to build text search interfaces that return hits with a small amount of context; I want to be able to provide links that point to an appropriate ancestor element, so the user can see more context if desired. One way to handle this desire would be to take the base URI of the node, and the path from the root to the element and point to elements using XPointer element() expressions of the form collection/docname.xml#element(1/2/4/1/1) (A function for fast resolution of XPointer element() expressions would be a nice thing to have, by the way.) In some XQuery implementations, I believe there are functions which return some sort of internal identifier for element nodes, and other functions which take that identifier as an argument and quickly return that node. (Or perhaps I am just remembering a facility from the first SGML database I used intensively.) Such functions, if they exist, seem likely to be faster than resolution of element() expressions. Is there anything like that in BaseX? Thanks! -- **************************************************************** * C. M.

Van: Rob Stapper [mailto:r.stapper@lijbrandt.nl] Verzonden: donderdag 4 april 2013 13:13 Aan: Christian Grün Onderwerp: tip/request Hi Christian, Im working with Basex 7.7beta now without any problems. The trace-function also works much better except .. it doesnt work with mappings. I make intensive use of recursion and mappings and for debugging it would be nice if the trace-function would also work with mappings. I wouldnt ask you to implement this if it wasnt so easy to program in Xquery, see attachment. I use this programmed version but I think it would be nice if the trace-function could also process mappings. Just something to consider ? Greetings Rob Stapper

Usage of HttPS and encryption

Hello, I yet use BaseX successfully, With the help of the Java BaseXClient exemple. I work on some sensible data and so I wonder if it is possible to use HTTPS to connect to the DB with the REST protocol. An other question is: would it be possible to work with XML files encrypted to avoid them to be readable and to baseX able decrypt the files content while we do queries on it ? Maybe it would result a big lost of performances BaseX is a usefull work. Thanks for it.

Yes, that's what I understand as well. And that's why I think it would be probably a good idea to deal only with URIs on the one hand (for parameters of the File Module functions, like file:write()), and use another couple of functions to explicitly convert between native paths and URIs when needed (like in the section http://expath.org/spec/file#d3e1404).

X-debbugs-Cc: basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Package: basex Version: 7.6-1 File: /usr/bin/basexgui Severity: wishlist In the "tree" window we click something with the mouse. It turns red and its text shows up in the text window. At this point it would be very handy if the four arrows on the keyboard could select one of its neighbor nodes, as they might be very small and hard to aim at with the mouse. Alas they do nothing. Note I am talking about the arrow keyboard keys and not the arrows on the GUI.
