Add line-number function
by Павел Павлов 05 Jul '18

05 Jul '18

Hello! Can you add to BaseX (as module) function "line-number" which retrieves the line number of the expression ? Same as in eXist-db ( http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/fundocs/view.html?uri=http://exist-db.org/xq… ) or saxon ( http://www.saxonica.com/html/documentation/functions/saxon/line-number.html ). it is very important for us because our users want see error line number in xml docs when our xquery scripts validate them.

file:write and arrow operator
by Giuseppe Celano 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi All, I was wondering if there is a way to take full advantage of the arrow operator with file:write(). If I want to write the results of a query, it would be ideal, I think, if the first parameter of file:write() were the content to write and the second the path: in this case I could have: my query => file:write("myPath"), where I could easily comment out "=> file:write("myPath")", if needed. However, the first parameter of file:write() is the path, so I end up with using the function in the way I usually use all the other functions (this is not a big problem, but I was wondering if I could take advantage of the arrow operator here: wouldn't it be better to have the path as the second parameter in file:write()?). Ciao, Giuseppe

basex csv import cmd
by Kittelmann, Maike 04 Jul '18

Dear BaseX users, I often make use of importing files to BaseX via command line. For XML this works fine. Currently, I work with CSV-files that I import to BaseX via GUI. I would like to automatize this process as I do with XML-Import files. Unfortunately, I didn't find any instructions so far how I can apply these same GUI CSV import settings to the import via command line. Is this possible?

Passing sequence of strings to the java class
by Alexander Shpack 03 Jul '18

03 Jul '18

Hey, team! Just simple question. How to pass sequence of string to the java class? let $values := for $i in (1 to 3) return $i cast to xs:string return j:exec($values) In case when local function returns one item all is good. Otherwise j:exec takes array of item()+, but not the array of stings. If you just call j:exec(("1","2")) than all works as expected. Any thoughts? Is it bug or feature? ;) BaseX 9.0 Thanks! -- s0rr0w

XPST0003 for decimal formats without any properties
by Reece Dunn 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Hi All, Given the query: declare decimal-format test; () BaseX 9.0 reports: Error: Stopped at basex-9.0/file, 1/28: [XPST0003] Decimal-format property '' is invalid. This is a valid XQuery 3.1 file, as https://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-31/#doc-xquery31-DecimalFormatDecl denotes the property production as "*", not "+". Kind regards, Reece

Hi I wanted to download a newer version of BaseX, but wasn't able to do so because the host is unreachable: > $ wget http://files.basex.org/releases/9.0.2/BaseX902.zip > [...] Name or service not known And my old versions of BaseX (zip-edition of 8.67 and 9.0) doesn't want to start anymore: > $ ./basexgui > java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.IOException: Unknown > host 'files.basex.org'. > [...] Is some of your servers down?

Unexpected removal of BaseX Database
by Arjan Loeffen 02 Jul '18

02 Jul '18

Dear BaseX people, We create a backup of a BaseX 8.6.4 database using a windows scheduled process: call basexclient -V -Uadmin -Padmin -c "CREATE BACKUP imvertor-*" We have a server process that interacts with the databases, all called Imvertor-*. In accessing the database at certain moments the backup process seems to conflict with the update process.
