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 ?

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

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?
