Hi, I am trying to execute a query in java and trying to fetch the result set using Iter Object. But Iterating through the result set return "null", but when i am executing the same query and getting Result object i am able to see the result set. Why this is happen. Please Help Me. QueryProcessor pr = new QueryProcessor("let $a := /data/product/* return $a ",context); pr.context(dataset); Now I am taking Iter object as: Iter itr=pr.iter(); Now, executing itr.get(0) gives me "null", but when i execute it as Result rs = pr.execute() Sytem.out.println("Products ::" + rs) ... it shows the fetch products.

Main Memory Allocation For Fetch Data In BaseX
by ankit kumar 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hi, We have requirement to group elements on specific criteria. We are grouping by creating a new XML and grouping similar elements by creating a new element under which we are putting the similar elements. I just wanted to know whether all fetched element resides in Main Memory or some kind of reference is stored in basex which later retrieve the elements form XML database. Suppose we have in some element in database. We are firing queries in database and grouping by append some new element. let $a := /data/product[@category = "abc"] let $b := /data/product[@category = "bcd"] let $c := <product><abc>{$b}</abc><bcd>$b</bcd></product> My question is, Will $c hold all the xml data in main memory or will it contains reference to $a , $b which points to the data in database ?. Thanks $ Regards Ankit Kumar

duplicate keys, because of missing commit
by Christoph Gaukel 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Hallo, the following xquery results in duplicate keys or missed updates, if we get two messages of the same person in one xml-document. All updates in the database are done at the end of the xquery and the reading inbetween gets the old state of the database. Is there a command to persist the actual state (like commit in sql)? If not, i need some help for my design, because i have no idea, how to get a stable processing. Kind regards, Christoph (: Verarbeitung einer Bestandslieferung (1600). :) declare namespace xmeld="http://www.osci.de/xmeld21"; declare namespace kmeld="http://www.krz-swd.de/kmeld"; import module namespace kmeldFkt="http://www.krz-swd.de/kmeld/Fkt" at "kmeldFkt.xq"; declare variable $file := "/home/christoph/Beruf/KRZ/Referenznachrichten/16.001.001.001a-1600.xml"; for $s in doc($file)/xmeld:kirche.bestandslieferung.1600/xmeld:sachzusammenhang, $k in $s/xmeld:initialGeliefertesKirchenmitglied/xmeld:kirchenmitglied let $n := $s/preceding-sibling::xmeld:nachrichtenkopf, $key := kmeldFkt:bildeIdMitglied($n, $k), $m_alt := (: Mitglied im Bestand :) collection("XMeldDB")/kmeld:XMeldDB/kmeld:personenbestand/kmeld:Mitglied[@ID eq $key] let $m_neu := if ($m_alt) then kmeldFkt:updateMitglied($m_alt, $k, $s, $n) else kmeldFkt:createMitglied($k, $s, $n) return if($m_alt) then replace node $m_alt with $m_neu else insert node $m_neu into collection("XMeldDB")/kmeld:XMeldDB/kmeld:personenbestand

xslt:transform and white-space pb
by Emmanuelle Morlock 05 Feb '15

05 Feb '15

Hi all, I'm using baseX 7.9 with GUI My query declares an chop option set to "no" ("declare option db:chop 'no';") and uses "return xslt:transform($in, $style)". But after running it, all the white-spaces in the xslt rules are chopped. for example the space in "<xsl:text> </xsl:text>" of a named template is not in the resulting html file. What can I do to solve the pb ? Thanks for your help Cheers Emmanuelle -- Emmanuelle Morlock IGE CNRS - soutien aux projets d'édition TEI - humanités numériques -------------------------- UMR 5189 HISoMA http://www.hisoma.mom.fr/ 04 72 71 58 40 06 85 84 69 16 @emma_morlock ------------------------- Membre du comité de coordination d'Humanistica, association francophone des Humanités numériques <http://www.humanisti.ca>

pyBaseX: Python client for BaseX REST interface
by Luca Lianas 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hi everyone, I'm Luca and I work as a researcher and software developer at CRS4, a research center in Italy. I started using BaseX in one of the projects I'm involved (project's name is pyEHR, an openEHR based clinical data management framework https://github.com/crs4/pyEHR) this framework is written in Python and I needed a client for BaseX. In the beginning, I used the official Python libraries recommended on the wiki, but I recently started to develop a new library that can be used to interact with BaseX's REST interface. The library can be found on GitHub https://github.com/lucalianas/pyBaseX and can be downloaded using pip, it is still a work in progress and it still misses some features and a proper documentation (right now unittests are the only "documentation" that can be used to understand how the library works, sorry). I just wanted to inform the community :) Thanks for your attention and if someone wants to collaborate to the project please feel free to add your contribution. Cheers, Luca Lianas
