From SO (and the fine manual), the solution is to use: basex -i w3school_data titles.xq
Very interesting. I'm sure this can be piped or simply written to a file, but is there a particularly "basex" method? Not to just return a result but write that result back to basex.

how do I specify a database for a .xq file to use?
a simple FLOWR:
thufir@dur:~/basex/w3$ thufir@dur:~/basex/w3$ basex titles.xq [warning] /usr/bin/basex: Unable to locate /usr/share/java/jing.jar in /usr/share/java

(from w3schools)
