Hi Scott,
just for the sake of completeness I'll resend the email I privately sent from support@basex.org ;-)
BaseX is a database that works schema-oblivious, i.e. for the sake of flexibility BaseX does not respect schema types when creating a database. But: you are still available to use xs:boolean datatypes, by explicitly casting values to xs:boolean():
I added three examples in this gist for your convenience: https://gist.github.com/919c89044265842590ca
You can find more information on types in XQuery here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel/#types-hierarchy Data types are usually determined at runtime, so the following will work even though there is no explicit type information in the XML fragment: https://gist.github.com/9d0746ca3eaa383c28ab
I hope this helps to clear things up a little.
Kind regards from Lake Constance
Kind regards again :-)) Michael

Hey... I know this may be getting out of the native XML database talk but it would be great if we could add a column and mark as true or false when we grab the data from an external source and mark as gotten.
Anyways...just a thought. Maybe there is a plugin for this or something to the effect?
Best,
Scott
PS - I sent a similar email to the default contact at BaseX.org site and after I sent it there was a suggestion to send feature inquiries to this email... I could not find that suggextion until after I had already sent the email.
