a few questions about BaseX as an embedded db
by Anders Hessellund 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

Hi, I am experimenting with BaseX and have so far built a little toy application that uses an embedded BaseX database. All xml-files in a certain folder, e.g., c:\myXml, is added to the database using the Create and Add commands. This works fine and I can run interesting (and efficient) queries on this. Now we get to my questions: 1. Next time I start my application, I do not want to rebuild the database so I simply connect using the Open command. How do I make sure that the BaseX representation/indexes are synched with the actual XML files in the c:\myXml folder? Does this happen automatically as a side-effect of Open or do I need to take some steps? I am particularly concerned about the case where other programs have manipulated the files when my app was shutdown. 2. Is it possible to do any parts of creating, adding, and opening concurrently? 3. Is it possible to cache results (full or partial) of XQueries? 4. Is it possible to attach schema validation? I do not mind hacking a bit. It seems like there is a SAXHandler available (new Set(Prop.INTPARSE, "false")), could I possibly override that implementation? Cheers, Anders

Re: [basex-talk] Two tags in different namespaces with same name

Dear Philipp, I didn't manage to reproduce the issue straight off, so... could you create a small sample XML document that will allow me to reproduce the issue?

session.execute("CREATE DB test inputFolder"); => java.io.IOException: Stream Closed
by Johann LEGAYE 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hello, I'm new on this mailing list and I have a problem when running on my java app : session.execute("CREATE DB test inputFolder"); because after 20 minutes (my input folder is something like 800 Mo). I got this error message in my console : java.io.IOException: Stream Closed java.io.FileOutputStream.writeBytes(Native Method) java.io.FileOutputStream.write(FileOutputStream.java:305) org.basex.server.Log.write(Log.java:74) org.basex.server.ClientListener.quit(ClientListener.java:240) org.basex.server.ClientListener.run(ClientListener.java:170) What can I do to resolve this ? Thanks a lot ! Johann

GUI query editor --> revert file
by Piotr Bański 27 Jan '12

27 Jan '12

Hi all, I have an feature request for the GUI editor (veeery handy for testing, thanks!): make it possible to revert files from disk. I have a file open in it that I want to update, because it got modified externally. But I can't -- not even if I open the open-file dialog and try to open it again, as if. No go, the old version sits in the editor still, and I was lucky not to overlook this fact or else I wouldn't know why it doesn't work. Thanks for considering this, and thanks for your work on BaseX, Piotr

Qualified Attributes In Root Elements
by J Gager 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Dear All, I have found some odd behavior when using the db:add XQuery function with the document constructor. When the root element contains a qualified attribute, all namespaces are being dropped. For example: db:add('testing', document{ <a:Root xmlns:a="ns1" xmlns:b="ns2" a:id="test"><b:Child>Text</b:Child></a:Root> },'doc_1') will result in the following being added to the database (note the namespaces are removed): <a:Root a:id="test"> <b:Child>Text</b:Child> </a:Root> Neither of the following queries retrieves the added node: declare namespace a="ns1"; /a:Root /*:Root The only query that seems to acknowledge this node is: /* However, using a string for the document does work: db:add('testing', '<a:Root xmlns:a="ns1" xmlns:b="ns2" a:id="test"><b:Child>Text</b:Child></a:Root>', 'doc_2') but this is not desired as the content to be added may have quotes within its elements. The namespaces are also retained using the document constructor if the root node does not contain a qualified attribute: db:add('testing', document{ <a:Root xmlns:a="ns1" xmlns:b="ns2" id="test"><b:Child>Text</b:Child></a:Root> },'doc_1') Is this a bug or am I missing some special handling rules of the document constructor? Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks, Jack Gager Metadata Technology

baseX performance with large number of small documents (are the indexes working??)
by Shahin Roboubi 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

I'm trying to see if I can use baseX for a project we have. We need to store a large number of small documents (about 5,000,000 where each document is 1 to 10K). I had some performance issues and searched the mailing list and found some answers like this: https://mailman.uni-konstanz.de/pipermail/basex-talk/2012-January/002478.ht… This suggests I should be able to get good performance (query times that are around ~100ms or so). I'm running this on a linux server with fast disks and 24 GB of RAM (4 GB for JVM). By the way, I'm doing the queries through the baseX GUI... not sure if that makes any difference. I created 3 test databases, small, medium and large. The results are shown below. All databases have full text search disabled (because I don't need it) and "Path Summary", "Text Index", "Attribute index" enabled. It seems like the indexes are not doing anything or just not working, because the query times are going up linearly (up to 5 seconds for the large database!!) with the size of the database... can someone explain what is happening/why, and how I can fix it?

referring to the database root node from a function
by Piotr Bański 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hi all, This is, I'm afraid, a basic question, that in my hasty searches I just must have missed a solution to. I would like to find a clean way of referencing the default context of my main module, where I can easily do "let $x := //whatever", but after I move this line to a function declaration. Is there any kind of database-root() function that would provide such a reference? I realise that I can pass the relevant node as one of the function's arguments, or use a doc() there with the appropriate path, or maybe even use the "declare context item" functionality that i haven't been successful in putting to work so far, but maybe there exists a much simpler way out? I'll be grateful for a hint. Thanks in advance, Piotr
