Re: [basex-talk] One document per database or multiple?

Thanks to both of you, Fabrice and Christian. I should have asked this question a long time ago - it will help a lot with organizing my work better.

Jonathan, in my humble opinion, here are the main reasons you may need several collections :

•      FullText indexing in several languages (because language is
  

collection wide) : a per language partition of your data

•      Size (usually in number of nodes) limitation
  
  

•      Huge updates : a read only backlog collection + a read/write
  

front collection of fresh data + queries tailored to read both collections.

Best regards,

And maybe good night ?

If I have a set of related documents (a text, a lexicon, frequency counts, a discourse analysis, etc), how should I decide when to put more than one document in a single database at different paths, as opposed to putting one document in each database?

When I create a database from the GUI, it seems to prefer one document per database. Should I take that as a hint?
