Weird: mixed content trimmed unexpectedly

Dear BaseX People, after many (happy!) projects using BaseX I have found that curl -i -X PUT --basic --user admin ^ -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<text> test for <element/> me </text>" "http://localhost:8984/rest/LeapinLists/test.xml" stores <text>test for<element/>me</text> To the database. Notice the spaces in the XML string. What may have caused this behavior? Any suggestions on what to do here? I tried it on Basex 9.3, the latest edition right now. -- *Arjan Loeffen* Armatiek BV & Armatiek Solutions BV 06-12918997

file pattern when creating DB
by radim-havlicek＠post.cz 09 Dec '19

Hello, I would like to ask about filters. I'd like to call XQuery db:create("DB", "c:/Temp/defaultDocuments/", "/") but with filter pattern * becase without that pattern it adds *.xml files only. I would like to add all files from that directory and sub-directories. Is it possible to put the filter pattern there? I discovered ADD TO / "C:/Temp/defaultDocuments" does exactly what I want, but I would much rather use XQuery like db:create or db:add("DB", "Temp/defaultDocuments", "/") but the db:add filters the files with *.xml. Is it posssible to add all files with any XQuery? Thank in advance for your reply. Best regards, Radim Havlicek

All, The following query: let $lookupSequence := ('a','b') let $map := map {'c': 'x'} let $mapLookupEvaluation := $map?($lookupSequence) return ( 'Evaluation of the map lookup is: ' || string-join($mapLookupEvaluation,", "), 'count($mapLookupEvaluation) is: ' || count($mapLookupEvaluation) ) Results in: Evaluation of the map lookup is: count($mapLookupEvaluation) is: 2 I would have expected 0 instead of 2. Am I missing something? Best regards, Johannes

Hi, The following function returns P4511D: 0 but I expect P4511D: 12 Bug or bad usage? let $d1 := xs:date('2007-07-31') > let $d2 := xs:date('2019-12-06') > let $duration := $d2 - $d1 > let $years := years-from-duration($duration) > return $duration || ': ' || $years -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com

the results of equivalent semantics: e.g. //row[position()>1] is no more equal to in latest 9.3 release to //row[./position()>1] the later results in not correct result. Alex

WG: Anführungszeichen bei der Serialisierung
by benjamin.tobler＠sbb.ch 05 Dec '19

Guten Tag Ich möchte ein xml zu einem csv file wandeln. Dazu verwende ich die serialize function von BaseX. Um die Strings der einzelnen Felder würde ich gerne Anführungszeichen hinzufügen. Dazu verwende ich die Option 'quotes' : 'yes'. Leider funktioniert dies nicht. Ich habe Ihnen einen Beispielcode angehängt. Dieser generiert die Ausgabe: John;Travolta. Ich hätte aber gerne die Ausgabe: "John";"Travolta". Gibt es diese Möglichkeit? Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe! Lieber Grüsse Benjamin Tobler
