Re: [basex-talk] how to know creation options of a database

Dear Fabrice,

How can I know the creation options of a given database ?

When I open a database created with a few non default options (MAXCATS set to 10000) for example,

GET MAXCATS seems to always return the last value set with SET MAXCATS.

good point, there was no way to do so.. but this has changed with the latest snapshot. You will get the value for UPDINDEX, MAXCATS and MAXLEN by either running the commands "open ...; info db" or evaluating the XQuery function "db:info('...')".

The GET command will always give you the global value of an option.

Thanks, Christian
