Options for ft:search
by Sebastian Zimmer 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hi, I'd like to request a feature concerning the ft:search method: An `lserror` option that works exactly like the global option `LSERROR`. It would be nice if we could set the maximum Levenshtein distance specifically for each fuzzy search without having to adjust the global option. Another question on ft:search: Is there a reason why it doesn't have a `case` option just like ft:contains has one? Best regards, Sebastian

Feature Request: Save untitled, open scripts when exiting GUI
by Andreas Mixich 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

SublimeText has this nifty feature, that it saves all open tabs, even if the have no representation on the filesystem, so one can continue exactly, where one has left off. I find myself often to have several, unnamed, XQueries open, to test this concept, to compose that function, etc. It would be nice, if one could simply shut off and have them reopened next time without naming a file and saving each item in question. -- Minden jót, all the best, Alles Gute, Andreas Mixich

I just copied the regex-expression from this page "https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XQuery/Tag_Cloud" (using regex always gives me headaches ;-( ). But even after removing the "|[n][b][s][p][;]" from the regex, basexgui still returns 5843. Ben

Database specific xquery modules
by DYER Chris 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

I am looking for some ideas on some architecture surrounding xquery modules. Our situation is that we have multiple client applications in various languages that will connect to a database. We will have some reasonably complex xqueries to extract data in certain structures that will be used by each of these clients. So to avoid having to duplicate the query logic we would like the xqueries to reside "in" the database. Additionally, we would like to use the same BaseX installation for multiple databases, corresponding to multiple projects. The data in each of these databases may be against a different schema and our xqueries are essentially tied to the schema of the data. Thus, each database may need slightly different xqueries. The xquery library modules looks to be global for the BaseX instance, as does the loading of main modules off of disk. Is there any way to tie the query module or file to a specific database? We are trying to avoid being limited to 1 database per BaseX instance. An alternative would be to embed the xqueries within our client applications, but that involves duplication. Also, we are not sure if there are any performance difference with having the queries stored in the repo vs client side? For background, we are looking at migrating from oracle to BaseX. So, we are effectively looking for an equivalent of multiple clients connecting to a userspace and using stored procedures which are specific to that userspace. Any ideas on how to achieve this currently? Or is this something that BaseX could support? Cheers, Chris

Broken links to papers on http://basex.org/about/publications/

Links to papers on http://basex.org/about/publications/ <http://basex.org/about/publications/> are broken. It looks like the URL string is broken off early at the first whitespace character. I can access directory http://files.basex.org/publications/ <http://files.basex.org/publications/> And it looks like the entire text in parenthesis should be the filename in the URL. — Steve M.

DB with MS Word .docx files breaks on base-uri()
by Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g) 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

With a database containing MS Word .docx zip (and other) files: collection('BOV') ! base-uri(.) Returns => Error: Stopped at ., 1/29: [XQST0046] URI '/BOV/DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/[Content_Types].xml' is invalid. I’m guessing it doesn’t like the brackets as part of a URI, but since I’m adding the whole docx container, I can’t specify a different path when creating the DB. collection('BOV') ! db:path(.) However, works as a workaround: DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/[Content_Types].xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/_rels/.rels DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/_rels/document.xml.rels DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/document.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/footer3.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/header1.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/footer1.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/endnotes.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/footnotes.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/_rels/header1.xml.rels DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/header2.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/_rels/footer2.xml.rels DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/footer2.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/theme/theme1.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/settings.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/styles.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/customXml/itemProps1.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/numbering.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/customXml/_rels/item1.xml.rels DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/customXml/item1.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/docProps/core.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/fontTable.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/webSettings.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/word/stylesWithEffects.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/docProps/app.xml DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.tei DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.dc.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/[Content_Types].xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/_rels/.rels DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/_rels/document.xml.rels DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/document.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/footer3.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/header1.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/footer2.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/footer4.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/footer1.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/footnotes.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/endnotes.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/theme/theme1.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/settings.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/styles.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/numbering.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/customXml/_rels/item1.xml.rels DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/customXml/itemProps1.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/customXml/item1.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/docProps/core.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/fontTable.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/word/webSettings.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.docx/docProps/app.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.dc.xml DCP-66/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES/2010_FEB_BOARD_MINUTES.tei ...

Call for assistance : BaseX as a preprocessor ?
by maxzor 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hello, Thank you for your software which GUI has been my savior every time I needed to deal with XML. I would like to know if I can stream xml transforms, to pipe wikimedia XML dumps into a format acceptable by postgres copy ? I know very well SQL, but nothing about XPath or XQuery I managed to mock a XPath (or is it XQuery ? :/) snippet from postgres itself, but obviously this would need rewriting for basex CLI : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60361030/how-to-transform-and-stream-la… Best regards, Maxime Chambonnet
