[basex-talk] Example xquery needed to write output to an local xml file

Dear all,

I am new on the block here, and trying to find my way around BaseX, which seems to meet my needs for my research on digital museum collection data analysis.

I have a very large collection of xml files (> 600000 files) that I am querying, and I want to write the returned result immediately in a file. The following xquery (see below) is not working, which probably comes as no surprise to you all.

But to get me started, I would like to have a simple example that works. Any example would do.

Hope anyone can help me out with this.

Thanks very much, best, Marco.

declare variable $data := collection(PRODRMCollectionItems); declare variable $output := 'C:\DATAQUERY\BaseX\Q001\outputPROD';

(:This is where all the work is happening:) declare function local:process-data ($nodes as item()*) as element (root) { <RMCollectionItemsDATA created="{current-dateTime()}"> { for $a in $nodes//artObjectGetResponse/artObject[objectNumber eq 'NG-NM-1395-A'] return <item>{$a}</item> } </RMCollectionItemsDATA> };

(:here we store stuff:) let $filename := concat($output, "marco.xml") return file:write($filename, local:process-data($data)) =====
