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

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

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

Dear Basex Team, We are using basex7.9,here we are facing performance issue when we are trying to add XML documents to collection database. *scenario *: We are adding nearly one lakh xml documents to the collection,In my application we should run xquery on one lakh xmls,that reason we are adding xmls to same collection,but total xml size also very less. In this situation my our collection server taking more time to add documents to collection database. *one lakh xml size *: 4GB *Please suggest any option to improve performance* Regards, Chandrasekhar

Hi, I have the following query: count( for $r in doc("hib_parses.xml")//row let $i := doc("hib_lemmas.xml")//row[field[@name="lemma_lang_id"][. = "3"]] where $r/field[@name="lemma_id"] = $i/field[@name="lemma_id"] return $r ) I have noticed that the where clause needs to be changed into $r/field[@name="lemma_id"]/text() = $i/field[@name="lemma_id"]/text() in order to get a result (otherwise the query seems to never end). I am wondering whether this is a BaseX issue, in that I would assume that the two kinds of where clause are equivalent (because of atomization). I have also noticed that /data() does not work either. Thanks! Best, Giuseppe

I have been given control of xqDoc from Darin McBeath
by Loren Cahlander 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Hello folks, June of 2018, I updated the xqDoc codebase to be able to handle the additions to the language for XQuery 3.1 and most of the vendor specific language extensions. I updated the parser to Antlr 4. Darin McBeath, the creator of xqDoc, asked me if I wanted to take over the domain. I accepted. I will be updating the website http://xqDoc.org and would like to get the community’s input. What changes would people like to see in the website? xqDoc’s GitHub is officially at http://github.com/xqdoc Thank you, Loren Cahlander
