Greetings!
What I thought would be a simple task has turned out to not be so simple.
I wrote:
SET CHOP false SET EXPORTER indent=no,omit-xml-declaration=no SET BINDINGS $ndb=Ruth CREATE DB $ndb ./sources/Ruth.xml
In BaseX 9.6.4, and when testing it I got this result:
CHOP: false EXPORTER: indent=no,omit-xml-declaration=no BINDINGS: $ndb=Ruth Database '$ndb' created in 544.5 ms.
What? Why isn't the mapping of Ruth to the variable $ndb effective in the bxs file?
Moreover, there are query files that follow in the bxs file that I want to have resolve $ndb to Ruth (the desired name of the database).
1) How should I declare a variable in a bxs file?
2) In such a way that it carries over to following xquery files?
BTW, I've seen this posting by Christian: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28018354/how-to-run-a-xquery-with-xml-fi...
but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
What am I missing?
Thanks!
