Editorial change in wiki - XQuery 3.0 and GroupBy
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 19 Jan '11

19 Jan '11

Hi Reading http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_3.0 <http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_3.0>I found, that third code listing telling You can see this effect by changing the return statement to: return element {$income} {count($ppl)} is exactly the same return statement as in first code listing and shall be probably changed into return element {$income} {$ppl} I tried to tell that directly on wiki, but I got no permission to do that, so I use this mailing list for it. Jan PS: I did not test the sample, I only know, it shall differ from the first one and this is my estimation.

Extremely serious issue with magically disappearing databases
by Charles F. Munat 17 Jan '11

17 Jan '11

I have an embedded (soon to be unembedded) Base-X database supporting a website written in Scala. I have a very basic caching mechanism. The structure of the DB is such: <data> <cache> <page>...</page> <page>...</page> </cache> <somethings> <something>...</something> </somethings> <otherthings> <otherthing>...</otherthing> </otherthings> </data> I have a huge (1000+ lines) XQuery that takes all the somethings and otherthings recursively and constructs a <page> item that includes the html content of the page thus: <page uri="/" expires=""> <name>home</name> <content> <html> <head>...</head> <body>...</body> </html> </content> </page> This page is then saved into /data/cache. The way this works is simple. The main XQuery checks /data/cache/page[@uri=$uri] If it finds an unexpired page, it returns it. If it doesn't, it looks to see if such a page exists (in pieces) in the DB. If it does, it constructs the html page, inserts it into a <page> element along with some metadata (expires, etc.) and returns that. If no such page exists, it returns a 404 error page. Beauty, eh? And it works extremely well. Until I have an error in my XQuery, which, naturally, happens all the time during development. Just to make clear, here is the Scala that runs the query (from a Circumflex web app): get("(.)*".r) = { response.contentType("text/html") val url = uri.get(0).getOrElse("/") val out = executeQuery(Rx.pageQry(url)) match { case "" => "<p>Houston, we have a problem.</p>" case page if (page.substring(0,2) == "<p") => executeQuery("delete node /data/cache/page[@uri='" + url + "']") executeQuery("insert node " + page + " into /data/cache") executeQuery(Rx.pageQry(url)) case out => out } "<!DOCTYPE html>\n" + out } What this does is very simple. executeQuery simply runs the supplied query. Rx.pageQry just loads the huge query from a file and adds the call "local:getPage('/')" with the url inserted as a parameter. Right? Then the match looks to see if nothing at all comes back (case ""), or if a page that begins "<p" comes back (meaning a newly constructed query). The default is to spit the thing out. So in case one, we're screwed. In the default case, we serve the right page *or* a 404 error page. And in case two, we get the <page> for caching. In that instance, we delete any old page that might be in the cache with that URI, then insert the new page. Then we pull the html from the newly inserted page and serve that. I hope this is clear even if you don't write Scala. HERE IS THE PROBLEM: When I make an error in the big XQuery (the one loaded by Rx.pageQry), I get an error message from Base-X with the line number and the type of error. Beauty! So I fix the error and rerun the query AND MY DATABASE IS EMPTY. That's right: the entire database has been wiped. Running a / query gives me back <data> </data>. OUCH! If this happens in production (and this app is running in production right now), I might as well step in front of a bus. What, please, could be causing the database to dump itself? This has happened dozens of times! I'm willing to send the huge query off-list if anyone thinks that would help, but I don't see how the query *failing* and destroying the database could have anything to do with the query itself. I've looked at the Scala a million times and maybe I'm missing something, but the delete XQuery is /data/cache/page[etc.]. How can this destroy anything outside of /data/cache ? As for the insert query, how can inserting *anything* into /data/cache destroy things outside of /data/cache ? Am I missing something really basic, or is there a nasty bug in Base-X? Hopefully the former, but if it's the latter, I thought you should know. Could this be related to the embedded nature of the database? Thanks! Chas.

Is op:divide-dayTimeDuration function implemented?
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Hi I am trying to use function op:divide-dayTimeDuration as declared at http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-divide-dayTimeDuration <http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-operators/#func-divide-dayTimeDuration>BaseX tells me either unknown namespace op, or unknown function. Is this supported by BaseX, or I shall find my own implementation written in XQuery? Jan

Multiple 'LocalSessions' with their own opened database
by Fabrice Etanchaud 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Dear all, In Standard mode (Standalone server) Is it possible to have several 'LocalSessions', each with a possible different opened database ? I noticed that for each ClientSession, BaseXServer creates a child context. So in Standalone mode, is it possible to do the same and pass a child context to each LocalSession in order to run multiple queries on distinct databases at the same time ? BaseX is simply fantastic. Best regards, Fabrice Etanchaud

Users and Permissions when running BaseX locally
by Fabrice Etanchaud 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Dear all, just to be sure of what I am doing... Are Users and Permissions stuff meaningless when running BaseX locally (as a library, I mean) ? Best regards, Fabrice Etanchaud

What happened to the DeepFS menu? Was it removed?
by dmccordjr＠yahoo.com 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello I was wondering, What happened to the DeepFS Menu in the latest Trunk. Will it be returning? How can I create a DeepFS Database. I've started to learn BaseX. Currently, I use DeepFS like a Disk catalog. Was it somehow broken? If so. What is the ChangeSet of 6.1? I'm a Java Dev. So if you can point me in the right direction. I would Appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
