Hi,
I used

db:node-pre(db:text("db", "ae4b577bd9f578556cd")//../..)

delete node db:open-pre("db",333)

to immensely speed the basex access. Thanks for helping me with how to get a db:node form basex.

I have one more question. I am using FreeBSD to host BaseX and it is stable so for in the testing. Are there any known problems of openjdk8 on FreeBSD and baseX. I could not find any issues so far with basex. But I read somewhere that openjdk8 on FreeBSD dumps core some time. I think it is for specific applications only not for baseX. Just a architectural suggestion on picking the best OS to host baseX.

Please let me know when you have some time,

*gasp* there's another one! :) I am using BaseX and FreeBSD, and have been now for several years, and haven't experienced any problems from the OpenJDK.

The only thing I can think to mention is that if you're using ZFS on your FreeBSD box, you might get some benefit from looking in to database-specific tuning for the zpool that hosts BaseX's data files. I'm trying to find some relevant links; when I do I'll share them here.

( BaseX works excellent on Windows, CentOS and FreeBSD and produced same results in all of them. But on windows the disk was close to 100% in windows while running my application, centos and FreeBSD has no problems. )

Thanks,
Regards

Hi Martin,

The behavior of BaseX is similar on Windows and Linux.

I would guess you started the application from different directories?
With file:current-dir(), you get your current working directory [1].
file:base-dir() points you to the directory in which your XQuery file
is stored.

Best,
Christian
