Hello Constantine,
as this is not a valid XML document there is no way to add this to BaseX. You could write an XQuery, which reads in the document as a text file and chops the file into valid XML documents (of course you could also do this with some external line-processing tool like sed).
Of course, as you mentioned, adding a root node is the easiest option.
Cheers Dirk

Hello all,
I have a huge extraction of XML documents in a single file, without a root element, something along these lines:
<a>
<b/></a>
<a>
<b/></a>
…
Other than by editing it to add a root element, is there a clever way of creating a Basex DB from this?
Thanks for any pointers,
C.
