Congratulations

Congratulations to the hard working BaseX team for releasing BaseX 6.3. I haven't found a more powerful or useful XML database system. I know of very few open source software projects that are as attentive to problems, and as rapidly making improvements, as BaseX.

Changes done by one client reflected to others - how
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

Hi I see, that all queries are really living in its "within my connection" world and other clients, incl. GUI do not reflect it. Could someone explain, what exactly can be expected from that? Will other clients see mu updates after they reconnect? Can there arise some conflict? Like two clients updating the same node at the same time. These are quite important facts as it may affect way of deployment significantly (I am planning implementation, where we will handle traffic information with changes in minute by minute manner) With best regards Jan -- *Ing.

query plan / basex:index usage
by Fabrice Etanchaud 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Dear BaseX Team, First, could you tell me how I can get only the query plan of a query, without running it ? Last, is there a way to call, in a same cross db/collection query, basex:index function on each of the dbs/collections ? Thank you for sharing your wonderful native database. Best regards, Fabrice Etanchaud

Index issue for a large collection
by Ivan Lagunov 20 Oct '10

20 Oct '10

Hi, I have a database collection with over 17000 documents (about 190MB in total). Everything worked fine until I created text and attribute indexes to improve performance. Now I cannot open database and perform any operation with it because I get 'Error: Out of Main Memory'. Setting "intparse on" doesn't help. I've increased Xmx value up to 2560m (maximum value for my system), it doesn't help too. Is there any way to fix it? Could you provide an approximate size of memory that is required for text and attribute indexes depending on the size of the database? Is there any possibility for me to use indexes on current system? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Ivan

Re: [basex-talk] BaseX client
by Andreas Weiler 20 Oct '10

Hi Nigel, 1. You have to run a query on the database like: for $doc in collection() let $path := base-uri($doc) return $path 2. Yes you can do that, see the following example: script test (save as test): create db test xquery insert node <root /> into doc("test") xquery doc("test")/root run the script: java -cp basex-6.2.9.jar org.basex.BaseX (or BaseXClient) < test 3. There is currently no 'reload' command...So you have to replace the file by your own. 4. You can have a look at the homepage on http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/commands or just ask for more information. I hope i could help, dont hesitate to ask for more.

Re: [basex-talk] Server administration
by Jan Vlčinský (CAD) 20 Oct '10

Hi Nigel Just a note from what I learned about using (Python) API I tested Python and it seemed broken - server console was reporting some errors. I came back later on (after getting disappointed by Sedna XML database disk space requirements). Using latest BaseX I succeeded Starting server java -cp basex-6.2.9.jar org.basex.BaseXServer Starting client java -cp basex-6.2.9.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -n localhost -p 1984 My Python scripts are since then performing without any problem. My estimation is, the same may apply to other API, not only to Python. I think, there was some other post recommending you to use some API to get the file remotely to a database. Such a test is on my plan, I may let you know.

BaseX client
by Nigel Alderton 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

I have some beginner questions regarding BaseX Client; 1. How can I list the documents in a database? 2. Is there a way to batch BaseX Client commands up to execute several commands automatically like a DOS batch file without having to manually type them each time? 3. Is there a 'reload' command to reload a document from it's source file or do I have to use the 'add' command and specify a file? 4. Is there any documentation regarding the BaseX Client commands other than the 'help' text? Thanks, Nigel

Re: [basex-talk] Upload xml file from client to server
by Andreas Weiler 19 Oct '10

19 Oct '10

Dear Nigel, currently the only way is to transfer the file to the server and then add the document to the database. Another way is to add xml snippets like: add as test <xml>test</xml> You could use for this our bindings, too. (see http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/bindings) So just write your own class like seen in the example. For example (pseudo code): FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); sb.add(fis.readLine()); session.execute("add as test " + sb.toString()); Kind regards, Andreas Am 19.10.2010 17:00, schrieb Nigel Alderton: > Hi, > > How can I upload an xml file from a client machine to the basex server? > > After spending a couple of hours trying to use the "BaseX GUI" which > apparently is not possible, I'm now trying to use the "basex client" > instead. > > I've managed to login from the client to the server by doing; > > java -cp basex-6.2.2.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -U admin -P admin -n > 192.168.2.10 > > then creating a database; > > create db test > open test > > but when I try to upload a file by doing; > > add text.xml > > it says; > > File or directory "C:/BaseX/test.xml" not found. > > If I go to the server and create a file there called test.xml then go back > to the client and do "add text.xml" it works!
