Developments for address books
by Markus Elfring 12 May '22

12 May '22

Hello, Various data models and corresponding applications can be constructed also with the help of the software “BaseX”. One popular data management tool is the address book (which can be supported by customised hardware and software), isn't it? Would you like to point any development repositories and further information sources out for such an application domain? Regards, Markus

Oxygen and BaseX Integrations?
by Eliot Kimber 06 May '22

06 May '22

I’m looking at ways to better integrate BaseX with Oxygen, both for XQuery editing and as a way to augment Oxygen’s DITA authoring features (i.e., using BaseX to provide more comprehensive link and search database features). Radu pointed me to Project Argon https://github.com/axxepta/project-argon but it looks like it hasn’t been updated in a few years (last commit was 2017) and my initial attempt to run the gradle build failed on the Java version detection. I’ll reach to the Project Argon team but I’m wondering if anyone else is doing anything with Oxygen integration. I’m looking for a couple of things: * Enable editing XQuery modules in Oxygen with validation, either using Saxon or BaseX, whichever is easier. While the BaseX editor is decent I really miss the Oxygen features I’ve come to know and love, like outline view. My initial attempt to set up an entity resolution catalog to make this work did not succeed, but I didn’t have a lot of time to spend on it. * Embedded BaseX server in an Oxygen add-on. This shouldn’t be too hard and we have a ServiceNow-specific add-on I could do this in, but I’m always looking for solutions I can crib from… Thanks, Eliot _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 M: 512 554 9368 servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/servicenow>

Not sure if feature/bug/my mistake!
by Patrick Durusau 06 May '22

06 May '22

Greetings! I have a directory of files that I use to create a database, using the directory as my starting point. On Debian, the files appear in this order: 01-matthew.xml 02-mark.xml 03-luke.xml 04-john.xml If I create an empty database and then add the files one by one, in that order, then //title[@type="main"] returns: ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΡΚΟΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΗΝ ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΗΝ On the other hand, if I start at the directory, add xml files, the database is created and //title[@type="main"] returns: ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΗΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣΙΟΥΣ ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ ΙΩΑΝΟΥ Α Question (sorry for the long setup): Is the sort order of manually added files an artifact of the manual addition? That is I cannot expect users across systems to experience the same load order as I do? Asking because I'm writing documentation along with example queries for several datasets and documenting random results, isn't likely to be helpful to readers. I am aware I can use db:list(database-name) to obtain and sort on the original file names but that takes me away from the file content. Ah, BaseX 9.7.1 on Debian. You know, the files don't have internal sort attributes. ntorder = "digit" would be enough to sort on that attribute and return the book names in the expected order. I'm sure there are better solutions, suggestions appreciated!

We are seeing the following exception if we run under very heavy multi-thread conditions.

Text index requires `/text()` in query
by Matthew Dziuban 02 May '22

02 May '22

Hi all, I was recently debugging performance of a query with an exact string comparison and discovered that it seems the query was only rewritten to use the text index [1] if I explicitly added `/text()` to the path I was comparing. My data looks like this: <data> <element><id>123</id></element> </data> And my original query was: for $el in db:open('DatabaseName')/data/element where $el/id = '123' return $el With 3 million <element> nodes in the database, this query took about 4 seconds, which made me question whether the text index was being used. I then changed the query to add `/text()` to the `where` clause, like so: for $el in db:open('DatabaseName')/data/element where $el/id/text() = '123' return $el With this change, the query only takes 0.4 seconds. Is it expected that `/text()` is required to get the text index to kick in? Thanks in advance, Matt [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Indexes#Text_Index

Performance of ft:search function
by Tim Thompson 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hello, I have a largish (5.4G) file with a full-text index that I am using to reconcile names in a local dataset. I've been experimenting with splitting the file into many smaller index files to improve performance. I group the entries by initial character and create a new index file for each distinct initial character. Each smaller file then gets its own full-text index. I've been following the approach outlined in the documentation for custom index structures <https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Indexes#Custom_Index_Structures>. Using prof:track, I've noticed the following performance for different uses of ft:search. (Here, $db refers to the 5.4G file, and $index refers to a smaller 159MB subindex. Times are averaged across 10 runs of 1000 iterations for each expression.) 1. Direct lookup against large index Time: 23ms Expression: ft:search($db, $text)/../.. 2. Direct lookup against subindex Time: 3.3ms Expression: ft:search($index, $text)/../.. 3. Lookup against subindex file with reference to large index Time: 2.9ms Expression: let $s := ft:search($index, $text)/../.. return db:open-id($db, $s/id)/../.. My question is: why would the third expression be slightly faster (or at least not slower) than the second one, if it involves additional computation? Thanks in advance, Tim -- Tim A.

xsl:transform-report message truncation
by Andy Bunce 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi, Using 9.7.1 (: test transform :) let $xslt:=<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:message>I want to see all of the very long message aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccccc hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gggggg gggggggggggggggggg aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa important bit</xsl:message> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> return xslt:transform-report(<xml/>,$xslt)?messages Returns ["I want to see all of the very long message aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bbbbbbbbbbbbbbb cccccccccccc hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
 gggggg gggggggggggggggggg aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..."] Is it BaseX truncating this? Can it be turned off for this case? /Andy

Date picture and xslt:transform()
by Zimmel, Daniel 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

Hi, why do I get different results with the following two queries? xslt:transform() does not respect my date picture. Expected result: <root>29. März 2022</root> Query 1: <root>{format-date(xs:date('2022-03-29'), '[D]. [MNn] [Y]', 'de', (), ())}</root> Result: <root>29. März 2022</root> Query 2: declare namespace xsl = 'http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform'; let $xslt := <xsl:stylesheet version="3.0" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" exclude-result-prefixes="xs"> <xsl:template match="/"> <root> <xsl:sequence select="format-date(xs:date('2022-03-29'), '[D]. [MNn] [Y]', 'de', (), ())"/> </root> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> let $xml := <root/> return for $xml in $xml return $xml => xslt:transform($xslt) Result: <root>[Language: en]29. March 2022</root> Running the XSLT with Saxon EE (not in BaseX via xslt:transform) returns (correctly): <root>29. März 2022</root> Using BaseX 9.5 ? Daniel
