Looking for something that may not exist...

Hi, I'm working on improving our tracking capabilities. I was hoping to find a function that would do the equivalent of what the code bellow does, but for internal functions that are not called through the rest interface. *string-join*(*for **$name* *in **request:parameter-names*() *return **$name* || ': ' || *string-join*(*request:parameter*(*$name*), '; '), '
') In short, I was wondering if there is way I can read the function's parameters and their values without listing each one explicitly. I searched the documentation without success. -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com

request:http()
by Ioan Fericel 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi, congratulations for the job well done on this project! I'm having a problem that I hope you can help me with some guidance. A form made with XForms send data from a instance - with submission, POST method - in a function xq from BaseX, to be saved in the database, and can not find how to retrieve data from the request. We found here ( http://exquery.github.io/expath-specs-playground/request-modules-1.0-specif… ) specifications for request:http() function, that seems to be taking all content submitted by post, but not yet implemented. Are likely to be implemented soon, and really do this? What other methods would be to get body content? I found this guidance ( https://www.mail-archive.com/basex-talk%40mailman.uni-konstanz.de/msg03171.… ) to function http: send-request, but I did not understand how they could solve this. Many thanks, Ioan

fn:trace improvement
by Marc van Grootel 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi, Would it be possible to add automatic serialization of map and array types in fn:trace? When using it should be transparent but currently providing a map or array fails. To trace it I now use awkward code to do it since I have to call map:serialize and array:serialize myself. E.g. (fn:trace(map:serialize($map, 'X: ')), func($map))[2] Cheers, --Marc

Apply variable argument list to anonymous function
by Marc van Grootel 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi, I am trying to call an anonymous function with a variable argument list. Maybe I'm overlooking something within XQuery but I cannot figure out how to do this. This is the code I would like to get working. declare function local:apply($fn, $args) { $fn($args) }; declare variable $concat := fn:concat#3; declare variable $args := ('a', 'b', 'c'); (: needs to handle any list of strings :) local:apply($concat, $args) (: => 'abc' :) What I want local:apply to do is similar to apply in some function languages such as Clojure ( http://clojuredocs.org/clojure_core/clojure.core/apply) In the code above I have two problems. a) how to bind the fn:concat function to a variable. Arity? #1, #2 ... ? b) how to "apply" a variable argument list to the function passed in to local:apply. I figure I could do something maybe with some other higher order functions but I cannot see the solution. I don't mind rtfm responses, I may have missed it. I keep bombarding the list with questions so it is only fair to give a bit of context. I am porting parts of a few small Clojure libraries to XQuery, most important libraries are Ring and Compojure which are libraries for use in web frameworks. My implementation currently builds on top of RESTXQ but eventually can provide an alternative way of handling HTTP routing requests through function handlers (without function annotations). This is similar to WSGI in Python and Rack in Ruby. I would've liked to release this sooner but it is more work than anticipated and I want to provide something that does these ideas justice. So it's ready when it's ready ;-) but I'm pretty close. I'm currently finalizing the routing part and need to work some more on middleware handlers. Until then go look at https://github.com/ring-clojure to see what this is about. --Marc

optimize BaseX performance

Hello, I have a 1GB sized xml file. which contains 94,50,001 records. while I fired query to retrieve all the records it will take approx 30 secs to execute a query. *I fired below mentioned query using Java API (QueryProcessor). * "transaction/* except (/transaction/traInfo)" QueryProcessor proc = new QueryProcessor(query, context); Result result = proc.execute(); System.out.println(result.size()); Iter itr = proc.iter(); it took *40 Secs* on execution of the above code. is there a scope of improvement without changing the query ? *My XML file is look like this.* <transaction> <traInfo id="ti1"> <date>01-01-2014</date> <source>bank1</source> </traInfo> <traInfo id="ti2"> <date>01-01-2014</date> <source>bank2</source> </traInfo> <traInfo id="ti3"> <date>01-01-2014</date> <source>bank3</source> </traInfo> <income transInfoRef="ti1">1000</income> <assets transInfoRef="ti1">1000</assets> <liablity transInfoRef="ti1">1000</liablity> <grossprofit transInfoRef="ti1">1000</grossprofit> <income transInfoRef="ti2">1000</income> <assets transInfoRef="ti2">1000</assets> <liablity transInfoRef="ti2">1000</liablity> <grossprofit transInfoRef="ti2">1000</grossprofit> <income transInfoRef="ti3">1000</income> <assets transInfoRef="ti3">1000</assets> <liablity transInfoRef="ti3">1000</liablity> <grossprofit transInfoRef="ti3">1000</grossprofit> ... </transaction> -- *Kunal Chauhan* mail4ck(a)gmail.com [+918655517141]

Query Cache?
by Christopher Yocum 24 Aug '14

24 Aug '14

Dear List, I have a query (included below) which uses full text searching and it is fairly slow using BaseX 7.9 (5-8 seconds). I was wondering if there was a query cache implemented in BaseX? I ask because the GUI seems to keep a cache around because the same query goes from 5000ms to 204ms if I run it twice in the GUI. The query looks like this: declare variable $term as xs:string external; declare variable $col as xs:string external; <results>{subsequence(ft:mark(for $x in collection($col)//entry where $x//text()[. contains text {$term} using wildcards] order by fn:lower-case(fn:replace(($x//orth[1]/text())[1], '\\p{P}|\\d+','')) collation \"?lang=ga\" return $x), 1, 5000)}</results> Thanks for any help you can provide.

Downloading files
by Lars Johnsen 21 Aug '14

21 Aug '14

I am using BaseX restxq for accessing a repository from a web browser. Uploading files works smoothly, but I can't see how to make a download button work. For uploading, the recipie on the restxq help page was enough to get it to work. Is there a corresponding way for making downloading work? What I have tried is to let BaseX send a html-page containing: <form method="get" action="/download/{$file}"> <button type="submit">Download</button> </form> To process this form is the following restfunction declare %rest:path("/download/{$file}") %output:method("html") function page:download-file($file) { ... } Inside the curly braces, I have tried an <a href..> element and file:read-binary, but none of them with any success. BaseX complains about the <a> element, and file:read-binary outputs directly to the browser. Any suggestions?
