Strange index values with numerics
by Zachary N. Dean 28 Aug '18

28 Aug '18

Hi, I was recently taking a look into the index data files (for reasons) and came across something that I found strange... When numeric values are in nodes they are put into the index with min/max and distinct token values, which is cool. What's strange is, when negative integer values are in text and attribute nodes the index contains the minimum value correctly, but the maximum value is '4.9E-324' ([0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1]). This doesn't seem to happen with positive values. Now, with small value ranges I assume this is okay, but with many values I would imagine it could slow things down. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, so I figured I'd bring it up. Here an example: <r> <a>-1</a> 0 <c>1</c> <d>-50000</d> <d>-49000</d> <e>2</e> <e>3</e> <f a="-1"/> <g>-1</g> <g>1</g> </r> I would have assumed that the index would see that element "d" has a min of -50000 and a max of -49000. Here the index infos: Elements - Structure: Hash - Entries: 8 g 2x, 2 distinct integers [-1, 1], leaf e 2x, 2 distinct integers [2, 3], leaf d 2x, 2 distinct integers [-50000, 4.9E-324], leaf c 1x, integer [1, 1], leaf f 1x, leaf r 1x a 1x, integer [-1, 4.9E-324], leaf b 1x, integer [0, 4.9E-324], leaf Attributes - Structure: Hash - Entries: 1 a 1x, integer [-1, 4.9E-324], leaf If it's a feature, then cool. Keep on rockin'! If not, then I hope this helps a little. Thanks, Zack Dean

Update functions - Error handling and counting
by Bogdan Bogucki 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hello, I am playing with XQUF in BaseX ann I encountered following problems. 1) XQuery is functional language and updating function can return empty sequence. How can I count and return result how many nodes was inserted or updated ? Example: declare %private %updating function cfv:upsertVehicles ($vehicles as node()*) as empty-sequence() { let $db := db:open("db")/cars for $v in $vehicles let $dbVehicle := $db/car[vin = $v/vin] return if (not(exists($dbVehicle))) then (insert node $v as last into $db) else if (exists($dbVehicle)) then (replace node $dbVehicle with $v) else () }; I have similar problem with error handling. How can I catch and return any error. Regards Bogdan Bogucki

Forcing reading _only_ from standard input
by Richard Walker 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi. I have a script in which I process data from standard input like this: VOCAB_WITH_NEW_VOCAB_NOTE="$(echo "$VOCAB" | "${BASEX}" -i - -q $" copy \$c := . modify ... etc. etc. The script has been working fine. However, due to a defect in an earlier line in the script, during one test run, the value of $VOCAB was (incorrectly) an empty string. But in this case, I got a quite unexpected result from the above invocation of BaseX. I can easily repeat the same phenomenon out of the script's context thus: $ echo '' | basex -i - -q '.' <vocabulary xmlns="http://vocabs.ands.org.au/registry/schema/2017/01/vocabulary" ... etc. etc. In this case, rather than processing the empty string provided as standard input, BaseX fetched data from one of my databases. Can I/how do I force the option "-i -" to mean "read data from standard input, and _only_ from standard input, even if that is empty"? -- Richard Walker Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) (formerly, Australian National Data Service, ANDS) 101 Liversidge Street The Australian National University Acton ACT 2601, Australia E: Richard.Walker(a)ardc.edu.au T: +61 2 6125 0584 W: ardc.edu.au W: www.ands.org.au

Re: [basex-talk] release read lock

Hi Владимир (cc to the list), > let $docs := db:open('sirukov')/docs/doc > for $msg in db:open('sirukov')/msgs/msg[EnvelopeID = $docs/envelopeid] > let $db := try {db:open($msg/dbname)} catch * {} > for $xml in $db[*:Envelope/*:Header/*:RoutingInf/*:EnvelopeID = $msg/EnvelopeID] > (: some actions with $xml and then return map data :) > return $xml Thanks. So you’d like to close the single databases after you have processed them in you inner loop, right? That’s not possible indeed, I’m sorry (because it might happen that your database would need to be opened twice – and due to the functional nature of XQuery, the database, and its contents, must be the same throughout the query). I know too less about your data (the number of databases, their size) and the evaluation times of your query, but you could try to use the enforceindex pragma [1] to enforce index rewritings.

Hi there, we are currently investigating options for using XML database as a backend in a publishing project related to technical documentation - DITA in particular. The broad customer requirements are checkin and checkout of documents, locking of documents and versioning. Has anyone worked with an XML database in similar scenarios? Any pointers? Andreas

Cannot convert xs:string to xs:anyURI
by Andreas Mixich 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Hi, whenever I define the type of a parameter as xs:anyURI and pass a string to it, I get the error "Cannot convert xs:string to xs:anyURI". I am aware, that xs:anyURI gets automatically cast to xs:string, whenever needed. But why not the other way around? Especially, since in the hierarchy of types, xs:string is ancestor to xs:anyURI. -- Minden jót, all the best, Alles Gute, Andreas Mixich

Question ft:mark()
by Johannes Bauer 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hello, I have a question regarding the usage of the ft:mark() function. Database content: <root> <div> Some text text search text some more text </div> </root> XQuery: <result> { let $search := 'search' for $match at $pos in //*[text() contains text {$search}] let $match_parent := $match/.. return <match>{ft:mark($match_parent//*[text() contains text {$search}])}</match> } </result> Current result: <result> <match> text search text </match> </result> What I would like to achieve is the following output: <result> <match> Some text text search text some more text </match> </result> ft:mark() returns the found element node with the marked content inside. Is it possible to get the whole paragraph content (the parent element of the found element) with the marker element inside? Any help would be much appreciated. Best regards Johannes

Different interpretation of regex in eXist, Saxon and BaseX
by Andreas Mixich 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi [rfc3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#appendix-B) defines a nice regular expression, which groups any URI, including URN, by URI component. Interesting about this regex is the use of the '?' quantifier which makes every preceding group/component optional, thus matching either an URI or any other(!) string, since anything, that does not match one of the special groups, goes into a catch-all group (no.5), which keeps either the path or the full, arbitrary string. This is neglectable, since the input to this regex is guaranteed to be of the right type (a/@href/string()). Here is the relevant part from the RFC. Appendix B ^(([^:/?#]+):)?(//([^/?#]*))?([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))? 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The numbers in the second line above are only to assist readability; they indicate the reference points for each subexpression (i.e., each paired parenthesis). We refer to the value matched for subexpression <n> as $<n>. For example, matching the above expression to http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/#Related results in the following subexpression matches: $1 = http: $2 = http $3 = //www.ics.uci.edu $4 = www.ics.uci.edu $5 = /pub/ietf/uri/ $6 = <undefined> $7 = <undefined> $8 = #Related $9 = Related where <undefined> indicates that the component is not present, as is the case for the query component in the above example. Therefore, we can determine the value of the five components as scheme = $2 authority = $4 path = $5 query = $7 fragment = $9 Going in the opposite direction, we can recreate a URI reference from its components by using the algorithm of Section 5.3. I tested this regex with Saxon, eXist and BaseX. eXist successfully parsed all the test-cases, I threw at it, into the right groups, Saxon and BaseX did not. The failure is: [FORX0003] Pattern matches empty string.. And that got me baffled, since all three processors use Java underneath and since the definition of the '?' quantifier, when used like this, seems to be: Makes the preceding item optional. Greedy, so the optional item is included in the match if possible. Which means, that *if* any of the group's contents match, they should be included, rather than producing an empty string. Why is it like that? And what can I do about it? I found no other URI parsing regex, that componentizes this way and would be compatible with XQuery. See, attached, a test-case. -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Transaction management in BaseX 8.6.4
by Marc Coenegracht 08 Aug '18

08 Aug '18

Hi, A CMS occasionally recreates some existing databases of a production site. The databases are deleted and again created with the new content within a few seconds. What happens if a read operation is taking place during this process? Can it cause problems with the recreation of the DB or with the BaseX server instance? Of course it is possible to update the databases instead, but this process is a lot simpler and probably faster too. All operations are executed running xquery scripts with REST using the BaseX http server. Marc

BaseX and oXygen
by Andreas Mixich 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hi, I remember, that I was able to run BaseX as execution engine for the oXygenXML XQuery editor. This seems to be impossible since a few oXygen versions. All that's left is the WebDAV part. I did not manage to run my old config, creating new ones did not help either. I remember having read a post by Michael Kay, who seemed to have some problems with XQJ not being up-to-date and some licensing issues making it impossible to fork/update or something like that. The bug-tracker and mailing-list links on the XQJ site are dead as well. -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Can't get `cdata-section-elements` to work at all for XSLT output
by Hugh Guiney 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hello, First off, loving BaseX so far! Using it as the backend for an API I’m building. However, I’m running into an issue. I’m trying to transform my database XML into an RSS 2.0 feed. It’s mostly working fine, but I can’t output CDATA content at all, which I need to do for `content:encoded` elements. Specs: - BaseX 9.0.2 (started via basexserver script) - Saxon-HE 9.8.0.12J from Saxonica - java version "1.8.0_112" - basex 0.9.0 (NodeJS) - macOS Sierra 10.12.6 ### First Attempt I set `cdata-section-elements` in the XSLT. rss.xq: ``` xquery version "3.0"; declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no"; let $in := <root> <child>hello</child> </root> let $style := doc( 'rss.xslt' ) return xslt:transform( $in, $style ) ``` rss.xslt: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:transform version="3.0" xmlns="http://backend.userland.com/rss2" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" > <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="no" cdata-section-elements="content:encoded" /> <xsl:template match="/"> <rss version="2.0"> <content:encoded>hi</content:encoded> <content:encoded><xsl:text>howdy</xsl:text></content:encoded> <content:encoded><xsl:value-of select="//child" /></content:encoded> </rss> </xsl:template> </xsl:transform> ``` Result: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rss xmlns="http://backend.userland.com/rss2" xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" version="2.0"> <content:encoded>hi</content:encoded> <content:encoded>howdy</content:encoded> <content:encoded>hello</content:encoded> </rss> ``` No CDATA sections. ### Second Attempt I set `cdata-section-elements` in the XQuery. rss.xq: ``` xquery version "3.0"; declare namespace content = "http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"; declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no"; declare option output:cdata-section-elements "content:encoded"; let $in := <root> <child>hello</child> </root> let $style := doc( 'rss.xslt' ) return xslt:transform( $in, $style ) ``` rss.xslt: [Unchanged] Result: [XPST0081] No namespace declared for 'content:encoded'. Clearly I declared the namespace two lines up. This looks like a bug to me, but any help appreciated if I’ve missed a step here. Thanks, Hugh

Mailing list configuration or my MUA?
by Andreas Mixich 02 Aug '18

Hi, may it be some configuration issue, I have on my side, or is the mailing list set up in a way, that each reply goes to the user's personal email-address, rather than to the list's posting address? Whenever I hit "Reply" the user's email address is put into the "To" field, whereas I would assume, the list's address to go there. I just, again, sent a reply, that should go to the list to Christian, in person (sorry about that). When I hit "Reply All" I get the list's address as a "CC". -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich

Re: [basex-talk] Failure with comment in editor when commenting out a regex

> > Aehm, no, that is still part of the regular expression. This does not apply anymore if you insert (: before the quotes. As Liam wrote, the regex won’t be parsed anymore in that case.

Failure with comment in editor when commenting out a regex
by Andreas Mixich 01 Aug '18

Hi, it may be already known, that the editor seems to hick up with the parsing, when it comes around some strange combinations of chars within the comment. I just came around this: (: let $str := "http://foo.bar/barz/index.html?bla=2" let $str2 := "http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/uri/#Related" let $str3 := "http://192.168.2.1/index.html?bla=2" let $scheme := substring-before($str, ':') let $host := analyze-string($str3,"^(([^:/?#]+):)(//([^/?#]*))([^?#]*)(\?([^#]*))(#(.*))?") return $host :) Editor/GUI warns, that: "no expression allowed in library module" and places error marker at the two slashes // after the :)( in the regex. -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich
