BaseX Client for PL/SQL
by Zachary N. Dean 06 Dec '16

Hi all, I've seen that quite a few people use BaseX to pull data from RDBMS's. I've started a project (https://github.com/zadean/pl-sql-BaseX) that goes the other direction. Using DB sessions as BaseX client sessions. It's currently only for Oracle (maybe postgres would work with only minor changes?) (other DB's to come. maybe :) ) . Some things just aren't that nice to do in the DB, and the XQuery processors in the DB do their own thing. So, this seemed like a nice way to get the benefits of BaseX from within the DB itself. Hope it comes in handy! Happy coding, Zachary Dean

xquery for position
by George Sofianos 01 Dec '16

Hi, I'm having some issues with finding the position of a value in a for loop. My query is complex so I can't write it in an example here (at least for the moment). I think the XQuery optimizer messes up with it. The result I get from the for loop is something like this for every return entry: <element>2113 - 11953 - 8760</element> where 2113 is the stuck $pos, 11953 is the count $count, and 8760 is the number of values in the sequence I'm looping on. Any Ideas? Can I disable part of the optimizer and see if that is the problem ? p.s1 I'm already using declare option db:inlinelimit '0'; because I've noticed some time ago it helps with compiling the XQuery files (without this, I have cases of very slow or freezing compilations). p.s2 I've also had issues this with Saxon involving $pos.

Is it possible to run basex in embedded mode and also start REST service in another thread?
