New subject: Simple xQuery functions do not work as expected

25 Mar 2015

      Hi Christian,
the issue showed up again, this time outside of a function. The computer was only moderately charged, but the change of behavior occurred after I loaded a 25MB text file into Notepad++. Should I change something in the JVM settings?
Kind regards,
Goetz

P.S.: Please make sure that our conversation appears at BaseX-Talk since I'm receiving mails from other members of the community who do appear to not be informed about the current status.
I continued to write directly to you, because your second e-mail was not directed to the list anymore. It makes perfectly sense to include the list as well.

However, I would not consider this issue as resolved.
Obviously yes.
...
For me it is a hint that under heavy load (memory), such misbehavior might occur, and therefore some investigations make sense in my opinion.
I was surprised to hear that a restart of your machine solved the problem, because the GUI is nothing else than a plain JVM instance with a low memory footprint (at least for queries like the one you sent to me).
As I cannot remember to have encountered a similar problem, we rely on your feedback. Feel free to send us some more examples if the problem should decide to haunt you.
Best,
Christian

Kind regards,
Goetz

I am using Windows as well.
Does the problem also happen with the latest snapshot? Could you try the zip distribution?

Did you try it on the Windows platform already? Maybe there was a mistake when packaging.
Kind regards,

Strange. Do you possibly have an empty or out-dated database named "labels"? If yes, could you try to back up and delete it, and run the query again?

Hi Christian,
here ist he complete output. Apparently, it's over-optimized:
