Test scenario - listing all docs - OK

for $doc in collection() return base-uri($doc)

returns

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/snapshot

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/mydata.xml

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata.xml

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/mydata2.xml

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata2.xml

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/DDRTest/ddr/live/JSDI_NDIC_20100111_00000751.xml

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/DDRTest/ddr/live/JSDI_NDIC_20100111_00000752.xml

This is OK

Test scenario - listing path/to/data documents - OK

for $doc in collection("DDRTest/path") return base-uri($doc)

for $doc in collection("DDRTest/path/to") return base-uri($doc)
for $doc in collection("DDRTest/path/to/data") return base-uri($doc)

in all cases returns

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata.xml

file:/D:/opt/BaseX/path/to/data/mydata2.xml

This is also OK

Test scenario - listing ddr/live docs - ERROR

for $doc in collection("DDRTest/ddr") return base-uri($doc)

for $doc in collection("DDRTest/ddr/live") return base-uri($doc)

does not return anything.

This is bad.

How was the database created

All DDRTest/path/to/data documents were added via command line client.

Note, that those documents are very simple like <root/>

All DDRTest/ddr/live documents were added using Python API

Note, that when adding those documents, XML declaration was present as seen from my log record

add as JSDI_NDIC_20100111_00000752.xml to DDRTest/ddr/live <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><DOC version="3.0" id="14662257-ca70-48a1-b2b8-0c34d6f4cef4" country="CZ" DataSet="extended"><INF sender="JSDI_NDIC" receiver="TRAFFICINTELLIGENCE" transmission="HTTP"><DAT><EVTT version="2.01" language="CZ" /><SNET type="GN" version="8.12" country="CZ" /><UIRADR structure="4.2" version="593" /></DAT></INF><MJD count="1"><MSG id="{8ad5a3b7-261d-b1f0-0126-1dd076cd0045}" version="1" type="TI" planned="false"><MTIME format="YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD"><TGEN>2010-01-11T15:39:38+01:00</TGEN><TSTA>2010-01-11T15:33:17+01:00</TSTA><TSTO>2010-01-11T16:33:17+01:00</TSTO></MTIME><MTXT language="CZ">Od 11.1.2010 15:33 do 16:33

Thanks Michael
The option to specify path in collection is good one.
Just for others to see how it behaves:

I have collection name "Pokus"
add as item01.xml to "dir/subdir" <root1/>

add as item02.xml to "/dir/subdir" <root2/>
creates two documents there (both path versions works the same, with or without slash)

base-uri reports names starting "file:/D:/opt/BaseX/dir/subdir"
(what might confuse a bit, but not much)

xquery for $doc in collection("Pokus/dir/subdir") return base-uri($doc)

selects both items properly (of course showing the 'D:/opt/BaseX/' inside of the base-uri result string).

xquery for $doc in collection("Pokus/") return base-uri($doc)
selects all items in the collection, not only from the root

xquery for $doc in collection("") return base-uri($doc)

selects all items in the currently open collection, if one used open <collection>, otherwise it complains about no default collection.

I did not find any way how to query relative path in current collection without naming it. No real need for this now.

With best regards

Hi Jan,

I am sorry but at the moment there is - to my knowledge - way of specifying a custom prefix to the base-uri().
You can as well, starting from 6.3, provide a path to documents inside a collection via:

for $doc in collection('test/dir')
return base-uri($doc)
Anyway, regarding your issue:

for $doc in collection('test/dir')
return replace(base-uri($doc),'file:/path/foo/bar/','')

might do the trick.

Kind regards
Michael

I tried many ways how to specify target - without and with slash and backslash - no change.

Is there any way to manage that?

PS: Be sure this is not a problem if it is not possible. it would be only a bit nicer.
