Congrats for your efforts and well done product. I've worked with Berkeley dbxml, eXist, and Mark Logic. So I really appreciate the clean api, speed!, and compactness. Keep up the great work! Do you have roadmap somewhere? I'd like to get an idea where you are headed with development and if you could use any assistance. Best, Erik Peterson

Re: [basex-talk] Full-text speed
by Thomas Goossens 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

[sorry for the previous message, my mistake] Hello Christian, thanks for your very fast reply (in middle of the night...) Indeed the query you gave me runs much faster. But... 1) that's not my query: I was using 'all words', and my query still runs without index. 2) I think that 'text() 'is not equivalent to '.'. For example I could not use text() here //SPEECH[ . contains text "romeo juliet" all words] By the way, this query just doesn't work (while it should return 42 hits). Never mind, I am sure you will fix that soon. Cheers.

Database creation error on Windows Vista SP 2 64-bit
by dnm＠pobox.com 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

Hi there, I recently downloaded and tried to use BaseX 6 on Windows Vista SP 2 64-bit. I'm consistently experiencing an error message whenever I try to create a database (which seems to be necessary even when trying to open a database). I'm using BaseX in GUI mode. I've seen this behavior with both the BaseX6.exe version (initially) and the .jar as packaged in the BaseX6.zip archive (as a second test). I've included a link to a PNG file below which will hopefully show up. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/395437/basex6-db-creation-error.png Thanks in advance for any help!

BaseX server without X Window System on Linux
by Steven Anderson 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

My Linux server doesn't have X. When I try to run the BaseX server, with the command: java -Xmx1024m -jar BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXServer I get the following error: No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it. Can I run the server without X? Steve

bug in namespace resolution after inserts
by Rares Vernica 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hello, I think there might be a bug in namespace resolution after an insert. I have two xml files: doc.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <doc xmlns:a="http://a"> <a:x>1</a:x> </doc> doc2.xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <r xmlns="http://b" xmlns:a="http://a"> <a:x>2</a:x> </r> I create database "doc" from "doc.xml". Then, I preform the following insert query: declare namespace a = "http://a"; declare namespace b = "http://b"; insert nodes doc("doc2.xml")/b:r/a:x into basex:db("doc")/doc and the result is: <doc xmlns:a="http://a"> <a:x>1</a:x> <a:x xmlns="http://b">2</a:x> </doc> but basex:db("doc")/doc/a:x returns <a:x xmlns:a="http://a">1</a:x> Cheers, Rares

BaseX 6 GUI does not start properly
by Rares Vernica 02 Feb '10

Hello, I used BaseX GUI before version 6 successfully. Version 6 GUI does not start properly and throws a lot of exceptions. Here is the first one: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.addRenderingHints(SunGraphics2D.java:1295) at org.basex.gui.layout.BaseXBack.paintComponent(BaseXBack.java:62) at org.basex.gui.view.ViewContainer.paintComponent(ViewContainer.java:114) at javax.swing.JComponent.paint(JComponent.java:1029) at org.basex.gui.view.ViewContainer.paint(ViewContainer.java:269) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintToOffscreen(JComponent.java:5124) at javax.swing.BufferStrategyPaintManager.paint(BufferStrategyPaintManager.java:278) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paint(RepaintManager.java:1220) at javax.swing.JComponent._paintImmediately(JComponent.java:5072) at javax.swing.JComponent.paintImmediately(JComponent.java:4882) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paintDirtyRegions(RepaintManager.java:803) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.paintDirtyRegions(RepaintManager.java:714) at javax.swing.RepaintManager.seqPaintDirtyRegions(RepaintManager.java:694) at javax.swing.SystemEventQueueUtilities$ComponentWorkRequest.run(SystemEventQueueUtilities.java:128) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:209) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(EventQueue.java:597) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(EventDispatchThread.java:269) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(EventDispatchThread.java:184) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(EventDispatchThread.java:174) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:169) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:161) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:122) The main window loads but it is empty. If I hover over the window with my mouse, the buttons start appearing. Anyway, it is unusable. I do not have this issue with 5.7. Here is the Java version that I use: > java -version java version "1.6.0_16" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode, sharing) The computer is a 32bit PC with the latest Ubuntu OS. Thank you for BaseX. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Rares Vernica

xpath expressions vs xquery select
by Travis Webb 31 Jan '10

31 Jan '10

I'm trying to figure out which is more efficient (xpath or xquery select), so if someone has knowledge on this I'd appreciate any input. This may or may not be specific to the implementation of BaseX. For example, the following queries return the same thing, but which one is faster? Does basex treat them the same way? 1 uses xquery select, 2 uses xpath 1. for $x in doc('test')/* where $x/node="value" return $x OR 2. for $x in doc('test')/*[node="value"] return $x Thanks. -tjw

All database updates will be reflected by subsequent queries. I'm not 100% sure, however, what you refer to with the "Xquery" object? The usual approach to perform queries with the XML:DB API is to call the query() method: XPathQueryService.query(query); ..see also http://basex.org/code.php?code=XMLDBQuery > Question 3) When I do an Xquery on an invalid xpath (or do > xPathQueryService.query() on an invalid xpath), BaseX is not throwing an > exception. Our application would need this functionality. Could you please > give your comments on this? Well, it depends on what you call "invalid". As long as an XPath query is correct, according to the language specification, no errors will be thrown. If you use tag names in your location path that do not occur in the original XML document, the query processor cannot guess that this was done by mistake. > Question 4) I have two choices to run queries on BaseX database a) using > Xquery object b) using XPathQueryService on a Collection. Could you please > let me know which is better and in which scenarios? So you talk about using our own API vs. the XML:DB API? In general, I would recommend to stick to one single API and not mix them up. Next, we observe that most users end up using our own API and discard XQJ and XML:DB, as these APIs do not come up to all expectations – at least in their current stage. Hope this helps, Christian fyi: I've forwarded your e-mail to the basex-talk mailing list.
