From the comparison chart that Ben referenced earlier I noticed that baseX doesn?t seem to actually load xml files into an xml database, is that right?

No. Yes. Maybe.

baseX does load the documents into a database. It stores them in an internal data structure, not as textual XML.

I think the comparison page perhaps misrepresents that point slightly.

...

Does baseX need to be 'told' that it has been updated, in order to add the new data to its indeices? Or does it know there has been an update and automatically reindex?

This isn't a meaningful quesiton.

You are correct. In the context of my misunderstanding the comparison document, the question is pointless and meaningless.

Thanks
