Dear all, We provide you with a new and fresh version of BaseX, our open source XML framework, database system and XQuery 3.1 processor: https://basex.org/ Apart from our main focus (query rewritings and optimizations), we have added the following enhancements: XQUERY: MODULES, FEATURES - Archive Module, archive:write: stream large archives to file - SQL Module: support for more SQL types - Full-Text Module, ft:thesaurus: perform Thesaurus queries - Fulltext, fuzzy search: specify Levenshtein limit - UNROLLLIMIT option: control limit for unrolling loops XQUERY: JAVA BINDINGS - Java objects of unknown type are wrapped into function items - results of constructor calls are returned as function items - the standard package "java.lang." has become optional - array arguments can be specified with the middle dot notation - conversion can be controlled with the WRAPJAVA option - better support for XQuery arrays and maps WEB APPLICATIONS - RESTXQ: Server-Timing HTTP headers are attached to the response For a more comprehensive list of added and updated features, look into our documentation (docs.basex.org) and check out the GitHub issues (github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues).

recursively used variables
by Rob Stapper 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

Hi, The code[1] below and send as attachment generates a error message: “Static variable depends on itself: $Q{http://www.w3.org/2005/xquery-local-functions}test”. I use these variables to refer to my private functions in my modules so I can easyly refer to them in a inheritance situation. It’s not a big problem for me but I was wondering if the error-triggering is justified or that it should work. [1]=========================================== declare variable $local:test := local:test#1 ; declare %private function local:test( $i) { if ( $i > 0) then $local:test( $i - 1) } ; $local:test( 10) =========================================== Kind regards, Rob Stapper Sent from Mail for Windows 10 -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

xslt:transform-report result
by Andy Bunce 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Hi, Using BaseX 9.7.1 and saxon9he-9.9.1.jar The documentation suggests the ?result from xslt:transform-report should be *a* document-node where possible [1] This seems not quite to be the case when there are processing instructions or comments at the top level. In these cases a sequence of document-nodes is returned. /Andy [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/XSLT_Module#xslt:transform-report let $xslt:=<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="3.0"> <xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/> </xsl:stylesheet> let $xml:=document{ <?something type="compact"?>, <foo/>} return xslt:transform-report($xml,$xslt) Returns map { "messages": (), "result": (<?something type="compact"?>, <foo/>) }

Plot visualization of unstructured data
by Marco Asa 01 Jan '23

01 Jan '23

Hello Everyone, I'm quite new to all of this but I am trying to setup a database in XML for logging some process data and I am planning to use baseX for polling Xqueries. While testing BaseX i was also amazed by the visualization functions, I have however a doubt on plot which can be easily explained looking at the screenshot at this link <https://photos.app.goo.gl/P2kETJLZoxWBhFHe8> In the data tree you can see I have two branches which present both the attributes @BE_T and @stress_as_grown. In the plot nonetheless only the point corresponding to the values of the first branch is shown. At the contrary, the explorer window present both pairs of values. Is there any way I can plot all the occurences of the selected attrubutes and not just the first one occurring?. Thanks for your help, Best regards, -- Lucas

Possible to get line number of node?
by Eliot Kimber 22 Dec '22

22 Dec '22

I’m pretty sure the answer is “no”, but is there any way from BaseX 9.6 to get the source line number a given node starts on? My use case is I’m looking for specific elements and making a report of documents that contain them and identifying information about the elements to help with finding them outside of BaseX (i.e., in Oxygen where the authoring happens). I’m parsing with the “trim whitespace” option turned off and I’m not doing any DTD-aware parsing, so the elements as loaded into the database will match the source (no additional attributes or anything). So at least in theory BaseX could maintain accurate line numbers. These elements don’t have @id attributes so no natural way to identify them, so it would be useful to be able to report the source line number as a guide to people fixing these elements. I didn’t see anything in the docs so I thought I’d ask just in case I’ve missed some trick. Thanks, E. _____________________________________________ Eliot Kimber Sr Staff Content Engineer O: 512 554 9368 M: 512 554 9368 servicenow.com<https://www.servicenow.com> LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/company/servicenow> | Twitter<https://twitter.com/servicenow> | YouTube<https://www.youtube.com/user/servicenowinc> | Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/servicenow>

Scope of a xPath variable
by Leo Studer 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '22

Hello Cracks ;-) In the code below I encounter the problem, that I have to define the same xPath function variable $organizations twice and I do not understand why. Running the code with the newest versions of BaseX or with Saxon EE, I get a runtime error when I leave the second definition of $organizations out. Any explanation? Thanks in advance. Happy Holidays Always, Leo xquery version "3.1" encoding "UTF-8"; declare variable $doc := doc("factbook.xml"); element Memberships { let $membershipPotentcy := function($orgs){if (count($orgs)le 0) then 'none' else if (count($orgs) le 5) then 'few' else 'many'} let $organizations := function($country){$doc//organization[members/@country = $country/@id]/@abbrev/string(.)} for $countries in $doc//country group by $mp:= $membershipPotentcy($organizations($countries)) order by $mp return element {$mp} { for $country in $countries let $organizations := function($country){$doc//organization[members/@country = $country/@id]/@abbrev/string(.)} order by $country/@name return <country>{$country/@name, $organizations($country)}</country> }}

What ever happened to the idea of exposing BaseX+FS as a Fuse filesystem?
by Alejandro Garcia 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

I've been reading Alexander Holupirek, 2012: Declarative Access to Filesystem Data Thesis and I think it is very interesting and very relevant today in an era of people wanting to build a "second brain". Thanks in advance
