Hi Lukas,

thanks a lot for your help!

Your optimization of the update functionality works perfectly. The processing time dropped from 10s to around 1.5s for 10,000 updates, wow.

About the UPDINDEX option, I am still experimenting with this.

Cheers

Tim

Me again, sorry :)

Getting hands on the optimization just became easier -

simply download the latest [snapshot]. No need to

hussle with GitHub.

Hi again - small addition:

1) to speed up the update process you just have to check

out the latest version of BaseX in our GitHub repository

2) to speed up the look-up of nodes you could experiment

with incremental index updates by setting the [UPDINDEX]

flag to true (please visit our [OPTIONS] documentation for

assistance)

If you have further questions just drop a note ...

Looking forward to your report!

Cheers,

Lukas

Hi Tim,

as a lucky coincidence we integrated a major optimization

regarding updates yesterday evening that should speed up

your scenario as well.

It would be nice if you could take a look at it and report your

experience. Just check it out at our [GitHub] repository.

Cheers,

Lukas

[BaseX 7.3 with the internal editor]

Hello,

as a part of a query, I need to update more than ten thousand database entries with an additional attribute. For this, I thought about getting the node IDs with db:node-id(), storing them in an element sequence as attributes and use them afterwards as an identifier for the “update insert”. Unfortunately, it takes around 22 seconds to update all database entries. After some testing I got two bottlenecks:

1. the “insert node …” command and

2. the “db:open-id()” command

Both of them cause a processing time of around 10 seconds each.

Is there a way to increase the update performance significantly?

Maybe by setting some options of BaseX or using a different approach?

Best regards

Tim

Here is an example code (no practical sense just to demonstrate the current code for the updates):

----------------------------------CODE---------------------------------------------

(: create a list with the node IDs:)

declare function local:GetDBIDs ($seq as element()+) as element()+

{

  for $element in $seq

  let $DBID := db:node-id($element)  

  return ( element {'Doublet'} { attribute{'DBNodeID'}{$DBID} } )

};

(: ##### MAIN PART ##### :)

declare variable $dbname := 'db_enum_test';

let $elements := DBSection

let $doubletIDs := element{'Doublets'}{local:GetDBIDs($elements/DatabaseEntry)}

for $element at $pos in $doubletIDs/child::*

return (

  insert node (attribute {'DB_ID'}{xs:string(xs:integer('100000') + $pos)} ) into db:open-id( $dbname, xs:integer(data($element/@DBNodeID)) )

)

----------------------------------CODE---------------------------------------------

and a query to create an example database:

----------------------------------DB---------------------------------------------

let $entries := for $i in (1 to 10000)

                return (

                  element {'DatabaseEntry'}{attribute {'id'}{xs:string($i)},

                           attribute {'word'}{concat('Scheduler_',xs:string($i*$i))},

                           attribute{'type'}{'INT32'}}

                )

let $entries2 := element  {'DBSection'}{$entries}

return ( db:add("db_enum_test", document { $entries2 }, "DB") )

----------------------------------DB---------------------------------------------
