Re: [basex-talk] (How to) build application with BaseX - request for parameters

When testing the script during the development against a sample database with BasexGUI this is manually changed into:

(: declare variable $dbName external; :)
 declare variable $dbName := 'll_i_one';

There may be various solutions for that problem:

1) You can specify a default value in the variable declaration:

declare variable $dbName external := 'll_i_one';

2) You can write a command script (e.g., commands.bxs) and run it with the GUI (works since 7.5):

<commands> <set option='bindings'>dbName=123</set> <xquery> declare variable $dbName external; $dbName </xquery> </commands>

3) With versions prior to 7.5, you can first use the command input to set your external variables (using "set dbName=123") and then run the query.

Thanks for your feedback, Christian
