Re: [basex-talk] Questions about server protocol

Dear Sebastián,

Welcome to the list.

1. Does exist a command to test connection (eg. ping or echo)?

Not really. Instead, you can try to register a client. If you get a response, the connection is available.

2. Can I trust in error message text for detecting error conditions?

The returned result code of commands (00: ok, 01: error) indicates an operation was successful [1]. It depends on the specific command or query which error messages will be returned.

Hope this helps, Christian
