Hi Fabrice,

emphatically agree! The ability to handle extremely large documents would be a feature of major significance, expanding the scope of BaseX's applicability. Even if performance would be very low, for the time being - the mere possibility of evaluating and analyzing such data sets makes a great difference.

Adding a thought: streamability is a major goal of XSLT 3.0 - but what it achieves is (though not restricted to, but at least) related to what one enjoys right from the start when working with an XML database capable of storing very large documents.

Kind regards,

Hans-Juergen

Thank you Christian for your reply at that time of the day (or the night...) !
I am happy to hear that BaseX can in the future handle very large xml collections.

For me, this feature is at the top of the list.
Hy everybody, are there other BaseX users interested with this feature ?

Best regards,
And good night.
