Hi there, to all of you working with Maven: we've just moved our Maven repository to the basex.org domain. The new address is: http://files.basex.org/maven We've also updated the Maven artifacts in our documentation: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Maven Next, we're currently working on automating the Maven deployment to guarantee that the latest snapshots can be integrated in your projects as well. And, last but not least, BaseX will soon be available via Debian and APT.

data corruption

Hello, Unfortunately I am unable to use BaseX (6.5) as I keep getting data corruption. I run BaseX on a dedicated server. The xml-datafiles I insert into the database have the following layout: <EEGData bla="x" > <signal name="x"> <timeslot start="2008-07-24T14:22:16">-53.2942688282 -37.5091841347 -35.6337285276 (many more values)</timeslot>  </signal>  </EEGData> Running "list" on the client returns the following: Name Documents Size Path ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------ fullxml 3789 522153128560 /path/to/xml This database was created by running the command: java -cp basex.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -c "create db fullxml /path/to/xml/files/" The problems start when I execute the "list fullxml" command, this returns: > list fullxml Possible bug?

I even dropped the entire database and recreated it, with the same problem on the same file(s). It seems that after a certain amount of data, the database gets corrupted; all documents inserted after this point contain garbage. I also tried to create the database with "intparse" set to ON, but I get the same problem. Regards, Elmer

Hi Using basex6.5.1.2791 beta I am trying to create database. Via BaseX GUI the command "create database test" works well. However, using basexclient it does nothing, resp. it does stop responding and I have to cancel the client. -- *Ing.

searching against base-uri
by David leigh 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

When I search against lyrics in my song database using "contains text", text is found where ever the input string is found, even if the string is simply part of a word. So "wor" would find "word". If I search with base-uri($song)[ . contains text "wor"] the results are interesting. Say I have the following files in my database: c:\song\music in the air c:\songs1\songbird review c:\songs2\songbird cafe c:\lyrics\songbirds singing c:\Songs3\I like to sing c:\Songs4\Songs worth singing searching with base-uri($song)[ . contains text "song"] will return: c:\song\music in the air c:\songs1\songbird review c:\songs2\songbird cafe c:\lyrics\songbirds singing c:\songs4\Songs worth singing searching with base-uri($song)[ . contains text "songs"] will return: c:\songs4\Songs worth singing My conclusion is that after the last slash (and in the database, of course, they are forward slashes) the string can be found as a substring but before the last slash, the string must be found as that whole section of the path (I've tried this with multi-word path sections and the entire path section must be specified or that node is not selected.) This is not particularly troubling, but I'd like to confirm that the behavior is expected. It would appear that the indexing is different for these file system path sections than for the actual file name at the end of the path (which appears to be indexed like all the other text). Can someone confirm this? Thanks!

Is there a way to not wrap results in jax-rx:results and jax-rx:result
by software developer 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, Since the queries to a collection over REST typically result in XML being returned, is there a way to turn off the wrapping of results in jax-rx:results and jax-rx;result elements? Thanks.

order nodes by dateTime
by Sony Vijay 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi, I am using BaseX 6.5 database. Say I have the documents : doc1, doc2 in my database and the first child node of these documents is "updatedTime". Say the "updatedTime" node of doc1 and doc2 have the values : 2011-02-07T14:40:00.78-05:00 and 2011-02-07T14:41:02.133-05:00 respectively. I am trying to return a sorted list of document names in the descending order of the updatedTime node. I tried the following xquery: for $doc_name in db:list() order by xs:dateTime(doc($doc_name)/updatedTime) descending return $doc_name The output I receive is [doc1, doc2]. But, the expected output is [doc2, doc1]. I tried both ascending and descending in the order by statement but I get the same output. I am not sure how the ordering of elements by dateTime works. Could you help? Thanks, Sony PS: This is a simplified version of my code. The actual nodes have namespace prefixes. I hope the solution would be consistent when namespaces are used.

Retrieving the parent nodes of full-text search results
by Sony Vijay 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi, Is there a way to retrieve the parent/ancestor nodes of the full-text search results of a basex database ? For instance, consider I have a document named 'feed1', 'feed2', 'feed3' in my database. A sample document ('feed1') looks as follows: <feed> <id>1</id> <updated>2011-02-07T07:10:49.588Z</updated> <title>feed1</title> <entry> <id>59</id> <title>Feed1 Root Package</title> <updated>2011-02-07T07:11:01.324Z</updated> </entry> </feed> The following xquery: for $doc_name in db:list() return (ft:extract(doc($doc_name)/feed/entry/*[text() contains text 'Root Package'])) outputs the following result as expected : <title>Feed1 Root Package</title> But, is there a way to retrieve the parent and ancestor nodes of the resulting <title> node, meaning is there a way I can output the 'id' of the entry and 'id' of the feed as well. The desired output could be: [<title>Feed1 Root Package</title>, <id>59</id>, <id>1</id>]. Thanks, Sony
