Out of memory
by Rupert jung 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

Hi there, Im currently doing some tests with BaseX and a mid-sized database (around 2 GB). I wonder myself why Im not able to process this xquery-statement: dinstinct-values(//*[randnr]/name()) (Give me a list of all elements which have a child-element <randnr> and remove all double entries) After about 10 seconds a got a out of main memory error. Whats really strange about this: Processing the nodes itself with //*[randnr]/ works like a charm (but gives me a HUGE amount of text and is not really useful for me at all). My system: win7-x64, 4 GB RAM, Java 1.6.0_21 Thank you in advance, Rupert Jung _____ Rupert Jung <pagina> GmbH Gesamtherstellung wissenschaftlicher Werke Herrenberger Str. 51 D-72070 Tübingen Handelsregister Stuttgart HRB 380249 Geschäftsführer: Tobias Ott Phone: (0 70 71) 98 76-37 Fax: (0 70 71) 98 76-22 E-Mail: <mailto:rupert.jung@pagina-tuebingen.de> rupert.jung(a)pagina-tuebingen.de <http://www.pagina-online.de/> http://www.pagina-online.de

Is it possible to create child Collections within a database through the XMLDB API? And is it possible to insert XMLResources in a child Collection through the XMLDB API? Regards, Frans

xmldb api and namespace handling
by frans＠planet 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

I'am accessing BaseX 6.5.1 through the XMLDB API. There are some issues with namespace handling when storing resources. Let me clarify that with some examples. First example I want to store the following as a resource: String example = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>" + "<tag xmlns=\"http://example.org\">" + "</tag>"; This yields <tag xmlns="http://example.org"/> in the GUI. So this is OK. Second example I want to store the following as a resource and INTPARSE = false: String example = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>" + "<tns:tag xmlns:tns=\"http://example.org\">" + "</tns:tag>"; This yields the following exception: org.xmldb.api.base.XMLDBException: "null" (Line 1): The prefix "tns" for element "tns:tag" is not bound Third example I want to store the following as a resource and INTPARSE = true: String example = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>" + "<tns:tag xmlns:tns=\"http://example.org\">" + "</tns:tag>"; This yields <tns:tag xmlnstns="http://example.org"/> in the GUI. The colon is missing in ' xmlnstns' . So this is not OK. Are the second and third examples bugs or should I change some setting to get a proper handling of namespaces? Regards, Frans

BaseX REST Security

When connection is made using Language Bindings, client need valid login/password to access database. When JAXRX is used - user authentication is NOT requested. Is it possible to protect JAXRX interface operations?

Serious bug? DB corrupted on Xquery replace
by Charles F. Munat 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

I have a database with a structure thus: /data/functions/seminars/seminar I wanted to add some new seminars to this list. I was working from a spreadsheet, which I converted to tab-separated values and then used regular expressions to rewrite each line as a <seminar/> element. I don't know to do multiple replaces in a single query, so I did this instead: let $seminars := /data/functions/seminars let $xs := $seminars/seminar return replace node $seminars with <seminars> {$xs} <seminar/> <seminar/> <seminar/> <seminar/> <seminar/> </seminars> This corrupted the database to the point where it was unusable. (First error was that there were multiple docs. Then I tracked it down to an index out of bounds error.) I had to switch to a back-up copy. I then tried simply inserting the seminars one at a time. This didn't work either. I backed up to BaseX 6.5 and tried again and everything worked perfectly. Have I done something dumb, or is there a problem here? Thanks! Chas.

Problems with xquery prefix namespace
by Isidro Vila Verde 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Greetings, I am new here and this is my first post. I just start to work with Basex and I am trying to migrate from eXist-db. Until know everything runs well but... I am now facing a little problem. With the xquery bellow the result is not what I expect declare namespace saf="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01"; let $col := collection('invoiceData/invoices') let $invoices := $col/*[not(saf:InvoiceType)] return $invoices This is the result (unexpected) <saf:Invoice xmlns:spi="http://serprest.pt/invoice1" xmlns:saf="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01" xsi:type="spi:invoiceType" xsi:schemaLocation="http://serprest.pt/invoice1 http://serprest.pt/invoice/invoice.xsd"> <saf:InvoiceNo>257</saf:InvoiceNo> <saf:InvoiceDate>2010-09-21</saf:InvoiceDate> <saf:InvoiceType>Factura</saf:InvoiceType>  [... some stuff deleted here ...] But if I use a wildcard instead of the namespace prefix the result is what is expected declare namespace saf="urn:OECD:StandardAuditFile-Tax:PT_1.00_01"; let $col := collection('invoiceData/invoices') let $invoices := $col/*[not(*:InvoiceType)] return $invoices This is (as expected) the result for the above query <collection xmlns:spi="http://serprest.pt/invoice1" xmlns="http://exist.sourceforge.net/NS/exist" name="/db/invoicingSystem/invoices" owner="admin" group="dba" mode="755" created="2011-02-17T23:15:07Z" version="1"> <resource type="XMLResource" name="1.xml" owner="admin" group="dba" mode="755" created="1970-01-01T01:00:00+01:00" modified="2010-07-27T13:29:12+01:00" filename="1.xml" mimetype="text/xml"/> [... some stuff deleted here ...] Of course, I can still use wildcards but the question is what is wrong with prefix? I am asking because I have a lot of queries using namespaces and now I have no confidence on the results. Thanks in advance Isidro

BaseX 6.6 Beta
by Christian Grün 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi everyone, A little pre-announcement: BaseX 6.6 will be released tomorrow. As a major new feature, we now support the full range of Higher Order Functions features introduced with XQuery 3.0, such as dynamic function invocations or inlined functions [1][2]! A preview is available here: http://files.basex.org/releases/latest/ We'll soon include a little tutorial in our Wiki to present the major new features. Thanks to your feedback, we've also managed to fix a bug in our updating storage algorithms, which could be triggered by deleting large XML nodes from an existing database. Feedback is welcome, Christian [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-30/#higher-order-functions [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-30 ___________________________ Christian Grün Uni KN, Box 188 78457 Konstanz, Germany http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/~gruen
