No create permission error in BaseX fiddle on HTTP(S) request
by Martin Honnen 03 Jan '25

Hi folks, today when trying HTTP(S) requests in the BaseX fiddle like e.g. json-doc('https://martin-honnen.github.io/xslt/2024/sample1.json') I get an error No create permission: json-doc("https://martin-honnen.github.io/xslt/2024/sample1.json") Is that some intended restriction/limitation of the fiddle or some bug/quirk that has slipped in?

Re: [basex-talk] XSD validation: cache invalidation stopped working

Hello, >> Note that the GUI runs in an independent JVM; it does not influence HTTP calls. The explanation was very helpful. I ended up with a CURL command to invalidate XSD that is cached behind HTTP listener calls (different JVM). curl -i -u <username>:<password> -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d "<query xmlns='http://basex.org/rest'><text>validate:xsd-init()</text></query>" "http://<host>:8080/rest" It emits the following: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2024 14:44:03 GMT Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 0 Server: Jetty(11.0.24) And everything is working as expected. Thanks a lot. Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky

XSD validation: cache invalidation stopped working
by ykhabins＠bellsouth.net 29 Dec '24

29 Dec '24

Hello, My environment has BaseX 11.6 installed. The XQuery is called in c# via REST HTTP call: string REQUESTURL = $"http://{HOST}:{PORT}/rest?run={XQUERY}&$xml={xmlFile}&$xsd={xsdFile}"; XQuery is using XSD validation with caching, along the following: let $result := validate:xsd-report($xml, $xsd, map { 'http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/cta-full-xpath-checking': true(), 'cache': true() }) It seems that the cache invalidation call stopped working ?! It is not picking up the latest XSD. I launch it from the BaseX GUI as follows: validate:xsd-init() Just restart of the HTTP listener picks up the latest/modified XSD. Please advise. Regards, Yitzhak Khabinsky

serialization order of map in fiddle
by Martin Honnen 29 Dec '24

29 Dec '24

After some recent announcement of ordered maps in the BaseX fiddle I played around with some JSON serialization, to my surprise the result is different whether I use the serialize function directly on a single map <https://fiddle.basex.org/?share=%28%27query%21%27%2803.*2%2C%5Cn%28.30*24%2…>: {'foo' : 'bar', 'data' : array { 1 to 5 }} => serialize({'method' : 'json', 'indent' : true() }), {'data' : array { 1 to 5 }, 'foo' : 'bar'} => serialize({'method' : 'json', 'indent' : true() }) gives { "foo": "bar", "data": [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] } { "data": [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ], "foo": "bar" } or in a for .. return <https://fiddle.basex.org/?share=%28%27query%21%27for+%24map+in+%7B%280.-%29…>: for $map in ({'foo' : 'bar', 'data' : array { 1 to 5 }}, {'data' : array { 1 to 5 }, 'foo' : 'bar'}) return serialize($map, {'method' : 'json', 'indent' : true() }) gives { "foo": "bar", "data": [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] } { "foo": "bar", "data": [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] } Should the JSON serialization reflect the map as created or is that still random/arbitrary order for the properties?

Help with recursion
by Chuck Bearden 27 Dec '24

27 Dec '24

I'm trying to ingest a sequence of 6293 strings, each 8 characters long, and create a map in which each key is an integer from 1 to 63, and each value is a subsequence of the 6293 strings, from ($key+1) * 100) to that starting value + 99. I wrote a function to do this recursively (so I thought), but it runs and runs (I've given it over 5 minutes), and so I can see I borked something. I wrote a function to output the starting and ending sequence indices for each execution of the function, but it (as the only change to the first function) quickly causes a stack overflow: *Error:* Stack Overflow: Try tail recursion? Since the recursive call was the last expression in the function, I thought I was doing tail recursion. I'm running 11.6.0. The code with explanatory comments follows. I'd be grateful for any corrections and insights. declare function local:write_results($elems as element()*, $count as xs:integer) { let $dir_path := '/home/cfbearden/projects/mesh_for_pure/20241220/data/' let $count_as_str := xs:string($count) let $content_out := <PubmedArticleSet>{$elems}</PubmedArticleSet> let $path := $dir_path || 'pmed2022_' || $count_as_str || '.xml' let $params := { 'method' : 'xml', 'indent' : 'yes' } return file:write($path, $elems, $params) }; declare function local:by_hundreds($pmids as xs:string*, $pmid_map as map(*)) as map(*) { let $key_count := count(map:keys($pmid_map)) return (: base case: each value except the last should have 100 items in it; the last should have <= 100; in this case we return the map goal is to build a map with 63 keys, with each value a sequence of 100 or 93 (in the last case) strings :) if ((($key_count + 1) * 100) >= count($pmids)) then $pmid_map else (: starting index for subsequence() :) let $start := 1 + ($key_count * 100) (: ending index for subsequence() :) let $end := $start + 99 (: value of the map key for this 100 items :) let $key := $key_count + 1 (: attempt to log all recurrent executions to files let $foo := local:write_results(<res><start>{$start}</start><end>{$end}</end></res>, $key_count) :) (: create a map with $key as key and the subsequence from n to n + 99 of $pmids and merge it with input accumulator map to make a new map :) let $pmid_map_new := map:merge($pmid_map, map { $key : subsequence($pmids, $start, $end) }) (: recur; the number of keys in $pmid_map_new will enable the next execution to determine which items from $pmids to use :) return local:by_hundreds($pmids, $pmid_map_new) }; (: The data format is simple: <DATA_RECORDS> <DATA_RECORD> <pub_uuid>0008980a-f1f3-40bf-8c13-cb0b79dfa81e</pub_uuid> <pmid>35732127</pmid> </DATA_RECORD> ... </DATA_RECORDS> :) let $pure_2022_db := collection('pure_2022') (: yields a sequence of 6293 strings, all 8 characters long :) let $pmids := ( for $drec in $pure_2022_db/DATA_RECORDS/DATA_RECORD let $pmid := $drec/pmid/text() return $pmid ) let $result := local:by_hundreds($pmids, {}) return $result All the best, Chuck Bearden

Upgrading BaseX by several major versions
by Rémy Delanaux 18 Dec '24

18 Dec '24

Hello, I manage a project I've worked on from 2020 to 2022 and have recently come back to (no one has really worked on since then). The project currently runs BaseX 9.4, and we obviously would like to catch up on versions of BaseX. But I'm wondering what is the best way to process here. I don't remember upgrading major versions of BaseX during my time on project (we changed servers so for BaseX 9 we did a fresh install and backup restore) What is the correct way to do this? Should I straight up install the latest version (probably BaseX at the time of writing) and find all blocking migration changes, or gradually install major version after major version (10 then 11 then 12 when available) and ook for smaller migration processes? I wasn't able to find migration guides except for upgrading from 9 to 10 (although there are individual changelogs for each individual module). Thanks! Best, Remy Delanaux

parse-json() function reorder keys in the resulting map{}
by Oleksandr Shpak 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Hi team, Found one "issue" with key ordering in the resulting map. Need to clarify, is it normal behavior or a bug. json:parse('{"b":1, "a":3}', { 'format': 'xquery' }) returns {"a":3.0e0,"b":1.0e0} but json:parse('{"b":1, "a":3}') <json type="object"><b type="number">1</b><a type="number">3</a></json> As you see, the standard function returns keys not in the order as it was set in the original JSON string. I didn't find any requirement in xQuery spec that the resulting map entries should be sorted by the key name. Is it a bug or a feature? If a feature I would be really happy to see one additional param to preserve key ordering. Thanks! -- s0rr0w

BaseX freeze
by Jerome Chauveau 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

hi, my basex server (11.5) stops responding when too many clients request my rxq application. I've published a little demo to reproduce the bug here : [ https://git.unicaen.fr/chauveau/basex-freeze-app | https://git.unicaen.fr/chauveau/basex-freeze-app ] I don't know if the problem comes from BaseX, Jetty or the Saxon XSLT processor. Thanks for your help Jérôme

Runtime failure in DBA optimize database panel
by Eliot Kimber 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Using 11.6, the DBA app’s “optimize” panel gives this runtime error: ``` Stopped at /data1/basex/webapp/dba/databases/db-optimize.xqm, 104/10: [basex:restxq] Value of "name" must be xs:string, supplied: (). ``` Must be a simple code bug but I couldn’t find the source in github. Where is the source for the DBA app?
