Hi Christian,

thanks for the fix, the result is correct now.

But this query now takes about 18 seconds (!) to execute, instead of <1 second like before. Do you think, this could be accelerated?

See attached for the complete console output.

Best,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

This has been fixed. The background: In one of the optimizations of
the "if" expression, identical branches are merged:

  if(..expensive query..) then 1 else 1
  → Optimized Query: 1

The full-text options were ignored in the equality check.
A new snapshot is online.

Best,
Christian

Hi,

I have a query which is optimized in a curious way in BaseX 9.0.2 (yesterday's snapshot).

This is the original query:

xquery version "3.1";
declare namespace tei = "http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0";
let $string := "string"
let $fuzzy := false()

return (
  collection('ZK')/tei:TEI[
    if (false())
      then (.[descendant::text() contains text {$string} using fuzzy])
      else (.[descendant::text() contains text {$string}])
  ],
  collection('ZK')/tei:TEI[
    if ($fuzzy)
    then (.[descendant::text() contains text {$string} using fuzzy])
    else (.[descendant::text() contains text {$string}])
  ]
)

And this is the optimized one (newlines inserted by me for better readability):

(
ft:search("ZK", "string" using language 'English')/ancestor::tei:TEI[parent::document-node()],
ft:search("ZK", "string" using fuzzy using language 'English')/ancestor::tei:TEI[parent::document-node()]
)

I'm curious why the second search is using fuzzy, even though the variable $fuzzy is false. I presume that query optimization is independent of the data, so you won't need the data to reproduce. But if you do, I can provide it. A database with enabled full-text index is required obviously.

Best regards,
Sebastian Zimmer
