Great answer regarding resource retrieval and optimization. Thanks, Christian!
Regarding the possibility of multiple db connections (w/in same JVM) and using one of them to db:optimize, we are using the client/server configuration.

Hi Joseph,

It strongly depends on the update operations you perform. The most tangible difference between optimized and updated databases will be that your (non-incremental) index structures get lost [1]. When it comes to pure retrieval of database resources, there should hardly be a difference. In our article on indexes [2], you will see which index structures are affected by update operations.

When talking about open connections, do you use the client/server of BaseX [3]?
