What abot publishing Python API to PyPi
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hi I am using Python API heavily and now run into situation, when I need the library easily usable from more projects. Natural choice would be to make it a module or a package and publish it to PyPi, because then it can be installed quickly. I am willing to spend some hours on this to make it more available. But I will need some assistance from original authors as it is good practice to fill in licence, author, url etc. With whom can I discuss that? Jan PS: I am neither Python nor PyPi guru, I just feel, I can manage to do this task within few weeks. -- *Ing.

Well, as I said, it was just an off-the-wall idea. And I appreciate the focus on performance, it's paramount. Having said that, the XQuery class is the one that has the query and generates the exception and is thereby in the unique position to easily perform certain services, like providing a nicely formatted error to the exception. Any other solution is going to be a workaround at best. The best I can think of right now is to sub-class XQuery and catch the BaseXException and wrap it in a new exception in the execute() method and add a printErrorDetail() method that does the formatting as I explained. I see little drawback in terms of either performance or security, as you'll still be free to use the base-class in any case. So that's what I'll do. Maybe I'm the only one who sees the value of it, I thought there would be more developers who'd benefit of such an implementation.

Aufnahme von Java-Bibliotheken in die Datenbank ?
by Burkert, Michael 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hallo ! Allgemeine Anfrage: Aufnahme von Java-Bibliotheken in die Datenbank Bei uns meint jemand, in der Datenbank eXist bestehe die Möglichkeit, Java-Bibliotheken aufzunehmen. Hintergrund: Es sei gelungen die Validierungsengine auszutauschen und einen OWL-Reasoner direkt zu integrieren. Damit wäre es möglich eine ontologische Prüfung von OWL-basierten XML-Daten unmittelbar aus der Datenbank heraus bei der Speicherung durchzuführen. Ist dies bei BaseX bereits heute möglich ? Bzgl. der Anwendungsvielfalt bei XML sicherlich ein interessanter Ansatz. der in Zukunft womöglich häufiger angefragt wird. Viele Grüße Michael

Anfrage: Speicher und Datenbankgröße
by Burkert, Michael 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

Hallo ! Womöglich habt Ihr das Thema schon häufiger auf dem Tisch gehabt. Aus Euren Erfahrungen: Wie groß darf eine Datenbank sein, damit sie mit den Default Einstellungen für Java noch arbeitet ? Per Defaulteinstellungen Unbegrenzt ? Per Defaulteinstellungen begrenzt auf wie viel MB ? Wie kann man BaseX im Falle einer Begrenzung elegant mehr Speicher spendieren ? Bei mir laufen 170 MB problemlos, selbst mit komplexen XQuery-Abfragen. Bei über 500 MB war bei einem Testlauf in der Vergangenheit erst einmal Schluß. Viele Grüße Michael

BaseXException
by Mark Boon 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

This is a bit an off-the-wall request but I figured it doesn't hurt to throw out here as an idea. When I have an error in my query I typically get a BaseXException saying something like: org.basex.core.BaseXException: Stopped at line 42, column 55: [XPST0003] Expecting ")", found """. However, it doesn't show me the query. Since I generate (sometimes large) queries automatically, this message by itself is not always very helpful (to put it very mildly). Either I print all my queries in their entirety, something that results in a dazzling amount of output. Or I jump through some hoops and try to keep my last query so it can be printed alongside the exception. Both are not very satisfactory solutions. I was thinking though how nice it would be if the exception could print the query for me. And the icing on the cake would be if (in the above example) it would print an extra line just after line 42 with 54 spaces and ^ at column 55, so I get an arrow pointing out where the error is without me having to count to 42 first and then to 55. Whatcha all think? Personally, I think it's such a good idea I was thinking of doing it myself. If the BaseX6.3 source were available, that is. Mark Boon

BaseX 6.3.3 - problems to list some docs if path specified (in some cases)
by Jan Vlčinský 09 Dec '10

Hi I get problems listing some documents Attached is compressed database. Test scenario - listing all docs - OK for $doc in collection() return base-uri($doc) returns file:/D:/opt/BaseX/snapshot file:/D:/opt/BaseX/mydata.xml file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata.xml file:/D:/opt/BaseX/mydata2.xml file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata2.xml file:/D:/opt/BaseX/DDRTest/ddr/live/JSDI_NDIC_20100111_00000751.xml file:/D:/opt/BaseX/DDRTest/ddr/live/JSDI_NDIC_20100111_00000752.xml This is OK Test scenario - listing path/to/data documents - OK for $doc in collection("DDRTest/path") return base-uri($doc) for $doc in collection("DDRTest/path/to") return base-uri($doc) for $doc in collection("DDRTest/path/to/data") return base-uri($doc) in all cases returns file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata.xml file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata2.xml This is also OK Test scenario - listing ddr/live docs - ERROR for $doc in collection("DDRTest/ddr") return base-uri($doc) for $doc in collection("DDRTest/ddr/live") return base-uri($doc) does not return anything.

How to delete selected documents from database
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 07 Dec '10

07 Dec '10

Hi So far I was adding documents and querying using Python API (generally sending commands to BaseX). Now I need to delete some documents. What is the most effective method? 1. drop db I would have to recreate it very soon. I am a bit concerned by other clients being connected to the same database 2. loop in Python performing delete command one document by one 3. do some sort of xquery in style "for $doc in collection() return (delete base-uri($doc))" Note, that this does not work, but there might be some way like this similar to insert or update mechanism Any ideas or hints? Thanks for advice Jan -- *Ing.
