Dear Francesco,

in oXygen, if your databases are locally stored, you can directly address the database you are working with by using e.g. the db:open() function:

for $text in db:open("lettres_20120109", "Info2085.xml")/tei:TEI ....

Currently, however, you'lll not be able to traverse collections on a remote server via oXygen; in this case, you'll have to resort to one of the other APIs/tools, or wait for an updated version of our XQJ implementation, which will also support remote connections.

Hope this helps, more questions are welcome, Christian

Hi,

as a beginner with BaseX, I'm trying to execute a xquery via an OxygenXML transformation scenario on an external server.

I created the data source and connection as explained in the BaseX wiki.

The xquery functions well on a single document, with following connection syntax :

"for $text in doc('http://admin:*****@10.211.55.5:8984/webdav/lettres_20120109/Info2085.xml%27)... ..."

But it doesn't work against the whole database if I write : "for $text in collection('http://admin:*****@10.211.55.5:8984/webdav/lettres_20120109%27)/tei:TEI ...".

It works fine if I use the baseX GUI on the 10.211.55.5 server (which becomes a localhost) : "for $text in collection('lettres_20120109')/tei:TEI"

What I'm doing wrong ?

Many thanks and greetings
