MAXCATS improvement
by Fabrice Etanchaud 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

Dear all at BaseX, I 'm working on a big database (more than 100 Go) containing several millions of articles, identified by a unique element. I frequently iterate on the identifiers list, each time I have to compute distinct-values(//myidentifier) in order to build that list. Could it help to set MAXCATS to 2 000 000 or 3 000 000 before creating the database ? I cannot try it, because text index generation throws a heap overflow. Could it be possible to improve the MAXCATS option in order to set a individual MAXCATS value for a specified element or attribute ? Finally, is there a way to complete the text index generation (Xmx is already set to maximum) ?

restxq
by Andy Bunce 18 Aug '12

18 Aug '12

Hi, I am a great fan of RESTXQ, however there seems to be a security concern with the current BaseX implementation when used without additional layers to top. This is that the source code is available for anyone to view. E.g. with the standard installation http://localhost:8984/restxq/ is the restxq demo but http://localhost:8984/restxq.xqm reveals the source. I have pondered small changes to the implementation that would address this, e.g maybe the RESTXQ code could go in WEB-INF folders or similar.

Table visualization of xquery results
by Rob Heiser 17 Aug '12

17 Aug '12

I'm using BaseXGUI to develop xqueries. The xqueries transform some data from the database into XML that will be rendered as a table. Will the table visualization view in BasexGUI work this way? My xqueries look something like this: let $dbName := "foo" return <table> <columns> <column>Name</column> <column>Child name</column> </columns> <rows> { for $item in doc($dbname)/some/xpath return <row> <cell>{$item/name/text()}</cell> <cell>{$item/child/name/text()}</cell> </row> } </rows> </table> The text view of the results look like I expect it to, and using the xqueries inside the application I'm developing works once I get them written and debugged. I'd like to preview the tables inside BaseXGUI if possible, before returning to the IDE and having to run the application, if possible. Thanks for any guidance. -- Rob

BaseX performances with many users and many files
by Yoann Maingon 16 Aug '12

16 Aug '12

Hi, We are building a solution that is actually using baseX, you can get a brief description there : http://launch.mysimplegrid.com/ The prototype works ok today for a few users. It is basically a spreadsheet UI storing its data in BaseX using the PHP library. Our question today is about this database use. For each spreadsheet we create a database in basex which means if we have a thousand users with 20 spreadsheets each, it makes a total of 20 thousand database in basex. where each one is access by one or a few users (not simulteanously). Would it be better to create just one database containing all the spreadsheets but access by the 1000 users? I'm looking for some information about concurrent performance and the utility of having multiple database or just one database for all? The other option would be to store just xml as text in mysql but It's really handy to work with basex and it allows us to update single nodes when to do that with mysql I would have to save the whole xml everytime. -- Yoann Maingon mydatalinx 0664324966

xslt:transform, spaces and mixed content
by France Baril 14 Aug '12

14 Aug '12

Hi, I have an issue with spaces in mixed content, when applying the xslt:transform command. I have been working around it for months with a hack in my css that puts the spaces back as   on inline elements, yet I still haven't run upon a clue to help me resolve this for good the clean way. IN SUMMARY - The xslt applied to my xml outside the BaseX environment (Oxygen + Saxon) gets me right html content (with spaces for inline elements in mixed content) - The query, when it returns the XML file from BaseX, shows that the XML file still has its spaces. - When the xslt is applied to the XML file from BaseX (Using Saxon), with the BaseX XSLT module, spaces disappear around inline elements in mixed content. IN DETAILS I have mixed content in a file. Ex. <p>Text <i>italic</i> more text.</p>. I have this function:; declare %rest:path("/how2-html-topic/{$id}/{$menu-id}") %rest:GET function topic:html-get-how2-topic($id as xs:string, $menu-id as xs:string) as node()*{ let $x := topic:xml-get-how2-topic($id) let $params := map{ "menucontext" := $menu-id} let $stylesheet := doc(concat($app:xslt_html_topic, 't')) return xslt:transform($x, $stylesheet, $params) }; My access a web page runs this query. Result (lost spaces): <p>Text<i>italic</i>more text.</p> - Note: The content has been uploaded with chop spaces = false - The xquery module specifies: declare boundary-space preserve; declare option db:chop 'no' If I get the same content without applying the xslt:transform, I get the xml with all the right spaces: declare %rest:path("/how2-html-topic/{$id}/{$menu-id}") %rest:GET function topic:html-get-how2-topic($id as xs:string, $menu-id as xs:string) as node()*{ let $x := topic:xml-get-how2-topic($id) let $params := map{ "menucontext" := $menu-id} let $stylesheet := doc(concat($app:xslt_html_topic, 't')) (: return xslt:transform($x, $stylesheet, $params) :) return $x }; Maybe I am missing some config details for the xslt module, in BaseX? In XLST? My xslt sets the output as follow: <xsl:output indent="yes" method="xml" encoding="UTF-8"/> Regards, France -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com (514) 572-0341

validare:dtd
by France Baril 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, This is probably more a suggestion than a question. I am building a restxq application, and when the DTD is modified, I want to run validation all existing content. let $db := app:open-db($lang) let $topic-validation := <ul>{for $x in $db/*[name()='topic' or name()= 'media'] return try {validate:dtd($x, $app:dtd-topic) } catch BXVA0001 { <li>File $x/base-uri() doesn't validate.</li> } } </ul> return $topic-validation When everything works fine, when the content validates against the dtd, I get an empty <ul/> as expected. However, if there is an error, the whole process stops, returns an error on the html page that indicates what the error is (but with the wrong filename(??)). Note that the filename changes everytime I run the process). - I would like to be able to catch errors, accumulate error messages and return them la instead of having the process stop at the first error. - Filename is probably a bug(??). I am running v7.4 Regards, France -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com (514) 572-0341
