[basex-talk] Another question about the "QueryExample" tutorial app

The "QueryExample" app contains the following statement: String query = "for $x in doc('etc/xml/input.xml')//li return $x"; What is the semantics of that? Does it mean that the (potentially huge) file `input.xml' will be converted into a binary database every time that statement is executed? The above exemplifies a very common problem with XML query examples: The authors provide ONE step when we need TWO: (1) An initialization of the XML tree, done ONCE. (2) A retrieval statement, which is done MULTIPLE times. In short, let's say I have a binary database called "Input" (derived from `input.xml'). How can I refer to it in the QueryExample app? TIA, -Ramon ps: Sorry for the multiple posts before. The anti-spam feature is confusing.
