GUI feature request "Add as import"
by Andy Bunce 03 Jan '16

03 Jan '16

Hi, I often find myself adding module imports in the GUI and I wonder if the following suggestion might speed up that process. Add a new menu item to the filelist right click context menu "Add as import" when the file selection is a XQuery module. The action would be to add a line to the current edit window source with import module namespace {$prefix} = '{$namespace}' at {$path}; Where $prefix and $namespace} are read from the source of the selected file, and $path is calculated from the relative path from the edit file source to the selected filelist source. The line would be inserted at a suitable place in the prologue or at the current location if that is too tricky. /Andy

Slow query
by Menashè Eliezer 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hello, I wonder if the attached query can be optimised. I'm attaching all relevant information. Basex 7.9, Debian, powerful server. This is just an example. The queries will be built based on a compilation of a search form. So reordering the conditions for having smaller subset right from the begging isn't relevant. Any help would be appreciated. 40 seconds are not acceptable. -- With kind regards, Menashè

Position of matched tokens in a full-text query
by Javier Couto 22 May '15

22 May '15

Hi, Sorry if this is too basic, but I’m trying to get the positions of the matched tokens in a full-text query, and I can’t find the way to do it. I imagine something like: for $sentence in //sentence where $sentence[text() contains text { ‘DNA', ‘oxidation' }] return <positions>ft:SOME-FUNCTION-FOR-TOKENS-POSITIONS($sentence[text() contains text { ‘DNA', ‘oxidation' }])</positions> Is this possible? Thank you in advance, Javier

Bug in declare base-uri
by Hans-Juergen Rennau 18 May '15

18 May '15

Dear BaseX team, I think there is a bug in the determination of the static base URI in the special case that a base URI declaration contains a relative URI equal to or starting with "..". Consider this declaration:declare base-uri ".."; The effect should be that relative URIs are resolved against the PARENT directory of the directory containing the query. If the query is located at, say, file:///a/b/c/query.xq, I would expect the static base-uri to be /a/b/, so that a URI like "abc.xml" would be resolved to file:///a/b/abc.xml. However, the static base URI as determined by BaseX in this case misses the trailing /, it is: file:///a/bThe effect is that a URI like "abc.xml" would be resolved to file:///a/abc.xmlIn other words: URIs are resolved against the "GRAND-PARENT" directory of the query. Final remark: the effect of resolving URIs against the parent directory of the query is achieved by the surprising base URI declaration: declare base-uri "."; which is not what I would expect. Conclusion: the way to achieve a resolving of relative URIs against the parent directory of the query should be achieved by the base URI declaration ".." - and no other value. Kind regards,Hans-Juergen Full example:Query ( file file:///projects/infospace/pcol/test.xq); declare base-uri ".."; declare variable $uri external; string-join(( 'query-file: file:///projects/infospace/pcol/test.xq', concat('static-base-uri: ', static-base-uri()), concat('resolve-uri("try.xml")=', resolve-uri("try.xml")) ), '
') Output:query-file: file:///projects/infospace/pcol/test.xq static-base-uri: file:///C:/projects/infospace resolve-uri("try.xml")=file:/C:/projects/try.xml

BaseX in maven
by Wendell Piez 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

BaseX friends, If I run BaseX from Maven, do I always get to use the latest BaseX? Do I have to do anything special to set up BaseX in Maven to use SaxonHE instead of Xalan for xslt:transform()? (I have Saxon9he.jar in my BaseX lib.) Thanks! Wendell -- Wendell Piez | http://www.wendellpiez.com XML | XSLT | electronic publishing Eat Your Vegetables _____oo_________o_o___ooooo____ooooooo_^

Seems problem with file:append()
by John Best 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hi Christian, How are you ? While using the file:append(), I encountered an issue/problem. Here's my sample xml file <Sample> <A>A</A> <A>An</A> <A>P</A> <A>D</A> <A>Ab</A> </Sample> I want to save the output of the above XML DB, to a new XML File and that too in sorted one- so my XQuery will be for $x in doc('sample')//A order by $x return file:append("C:\sampleSorted.xml", $x) but when I open the newly created file I didn't get the expected (sorted) output !! -- Have a nice day JBest

Adaptive serialization
by Christian Grün 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hi there, By default, BaseX 8.0 will use the new "adaptive" serialization method [1], which will be included in the new serialization spec: * It allows you to serialize attributes, namespace and function items (including maps and arrays) * Atomic values will not be escaped anymore. * Items will be separated with newlines The new default can already be tested [2]. As an example, the following query... "me & you", map { "B": "C" }, <x y='z'/>/@y …will be serialized as follows: me & you { "B": "C" } y="z" Please be aware that the new default serialization may generate different results, so please check your existing applications when switching to the new version! Cheers, Christian [1] https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27498 [2] http://files.basex.org/releases/latest
