Hi Peter (cc to the mailing list),
the following page might interesting for you, on which we've compiled some statistics on created databases:
Reg. number of documents and single doc size: the number depends on various meta data such as the number of XML nodes in the document. As you can see on the quoted page, we've added 10 Mio. documents of the CoPhIR collection in one database, and one document with 421 GB. As soon as one database gets too large, several databases can be created and accessed by a single XQuery.
Hope this helps, Christian

Classification: NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED
Hi Christian
I've just started looking at BaseX and would appreciate some pointers to performance information. My obvious expectation for comparisons would be with eXist and MarkLogic.
I was wondering if you had any information on the maximum numbers of documents that BaseX can handle, and also the maximum size of a single document that could be practically handled (here I'm thinking about multi-dimensional data 'cubes')
Kind regards
Peter
