CREATE DATABASE coll /path/to/input
Hi Andy,
it's nice to hear that you spotted my temporary Wiki edit.. Yes, I'm
quite positive that db:create() will make it into 7.5, although there
are still lots of "minor issues" to resolve. Next, as you've probably
read, db:create() will always executed after all other database
operations on the pending update list, because the database to be
created cannot be referenced in the query itself (..as it does not
exist yet). Using RESTXQ, this won't be such a big deal, as you can
use db:output() to redirect to another query, which operated on the
newly created database.
Reg. HTTPLOCAL: the only difference is that no database server
instance will be started if HTTPLOCAL is set to true. The server
instance is mainly helpful if you want to address the same BaseX
instance from other clients which are not running in the same JVM.
I really hope to finish all the stuff soon, including the
documentation around the updated HTTP architecture. I guess there are
many open questions. If you want to know more about the changes, just
ask what feels confusing to you (this may also improve the Wiki texts
to be written).
Christian
