Hello Mike,

Thank you for the response. After a few hours of contemplation and
reading I still have yet to come
up with a way to merge changes in an XML file to the BaseX database created
with a previous version of that file. Now, I have come up with a bunch
of work arounds but nothing clean. Do you know
of any tools that I might look into?

Many Thanks,
Eric
