Hi David,
Thanks for your mail. If i get it right, you are adding a new XML file into a database, using the client/server architecture, and you'd like to read documents from another database, right? This shouldn't be a problem. What API are you working with (how do you add the new file)?
Cheers, Christian

Hello BaseX Team,
I am loading a big file into BaseX (2.1G) and try to understand the handling of concurrent reads during that process. The size does only matter in so far, as loading seems to block reading for an extended amount of time.
I observe that I can not read the collection I'm loading into nor any other collection under the same server. When I use another server process on a different port to write to the target collection I can read other collections without delay, the collection I'm loading into is (obviously) blocked by the upd.basex flag.
Is there no parallelisation involved that would separate reading from writing processes, or does that only come into play for xquery updates that run under the transaction module?
My PARALLEL setting is at the default of 8 and I'm on version 8.0.1. And I apologise already if I missed some obvious configuration...
Thanks to everyone involved in this project!
