BaseX 7.8: The XMLPrague Edition
by Christian Grün 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Dear subscribers, thanks for your continuing support! We are very pleased to announce BaseX 7.8 (the XMLPrague Edition). The new version was designed to further increase your productivity, no matter if you develop feature-rich XQuery applications or use BaseX as a light-weight XMLDB. You can expect the following great features: * A new project view allows you to open, edit and manage your project files directly in the GUI and search files and contents in realtime. * The integrated editor provides many new short cuts and code completions for writing XQuery modules. * Delete and insert operations are executed faster than ever before, values are updated in-place whenever possible, and a new convenience operator has been added for transform expressions * XQuery functions are now inlined and further optimized. Tail call detection and static typing has been improved, and (sub)sequences are processed much faster. * Various XQuery Modules have been enhanced (JSON, CSV, Unit, Map, XQuery, Full-Text, EXPath File), and the EXPath Binary Module has been added * BaseX is now available in Russian and Spanish. Thank you to Oleksandr Shpak and Carlos Marcos! More details can be found in our documentation (http://docs.basex.org) We are looking forward to your feedback, and we hope to see many of you in Prague this Friday (http://lanyrd.com/2014/basex) Have fun, Christian BaseX Team

transform before update query
by Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex 16 Feb '14

16 Feb '14

This XQuery update related question might be not the most BaseX-specific question that has ever been asked on the list, but anyway: I’m currently improving the performance of sxedit (that I presented at XML Prague yesterday). One nasty workaround that I have to do in the browser is escaping the names of the TEI elements body and head when I generate TEI XML from HTML despite the fact that these elemens are in a different namespace (because browsers…). So I have TEI XML with the elements _____head and _____body. I serialize this XML and use regex replacement on the string when I submit the TEI XML for download or for storage in BaseX. (Yes, it seems silly to serialize the XML before POSTing it to RESTXQ and then using parse-xml(), but don’t mind that for the moment.) The function that does the storage is at https://github.com/gimsieke/sxedit/blob/master/lib/basex/restxq/sxedit.xqm#… Now I thought that I might do without the performance-killing string replacement in the browser if I let BaseX transform the posted data prior to replacing the stored subtree with what was posted. So I tried the following for the function body: copy $doc := parse-xml($wrapper) modify ( for $n in $doc/descendant-or-self::*[starts-with(local-name(), '_____')] let $repl := replace(local-name($n), '^_____', ''), $uri := namespace-uri($n) return rename node $n as QName($uri, $repl) ) return replace node db:open($doc/*:frag/@db, $doc/*:frag/@doc)//*[path() eq $doc/*:frag/@xpath] with $doc/*:frag/* upon which I get: [XUST0001] Transform expression: no updating expression allowed. How would I achieve the transform and then update operation? Gerrit

Hello, Thank you all for help me.

Re: [basex-talk] problem with namespaces in baseX - Namespaces are inserted only once in the database

Hi Yannis, hi Panagiotis, our team member Lukas managed to fix the namespace bug just in time. A new snapshot is available [1], and we will be glad to get your confirmation if the problem is fixed. And a little announcement to everyone else: BaseX 7.8 will be released this afternoon!

Re: [basex-talk] cross-document predicates
by Simon Görke 12 Feb '14

Christian, many thanks for your elaborations. It seems this is not really a 100% baseX topic any more, but maybe you (or somebody else) can give me another hint anyway. > I agree that the result is somewhat surprising, because you would possibly expect "/" to return all documents of your collection. This is exactly what I assumed (and hoped for) :-( > The following query will return the expected results (and it will usually be evaluated faster if you have indexed your documents): > let $refs := //b/b1/@ref > return //a1[@id = $refs] The problem is that for my application, I require pure xpath expressions (we have a GUI which is configurable by defining tuples of 1. a xpath expression to address data and 2. the desired gui / widget representation). However, if I got the implications of your explanation right, it seems to be impossible to solve my issue by using xpath only as it would require using two different contexts in one and the same expression. Could you (or another xpath pro) confirm this assumption of mine or maybe even come up with an alternate (non-xquery) idea? TIA Simon

Serialization xhtml --> html 5
by France Baril 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi, I have quick question... Is it possible to view content saved as XHTML in a BaseX database as HTML 5 in a browser when accessing the content through a domain:port/rest/... address? Is this configurable through a serialization setting somewhere? Thanks -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com (514) 572-0341

cross-document predicates
by Simon Görke 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hello there, I am not really sure if the following is an issue or just a lack of understanding on my side. I have two documents and try to find elements from one based on (attribute-stored) constraints given in the other. A basic example structure looks as follows: <commands> <create-db name='test1'/> <add path='doc_a'><a><a1 id='1'/><b1 ref='1'/></a></add> <add path='doc_b'><b1 ref='1'/></add> </commands> Queries: //a1[@id=//a/b1/@ref] => 1 hit //a1[@id=//b/b1/@ref] => no hits? When putting the nodes in one and the same document (adding a common parental node), either query returns 1 hit: <commands> <create-db name='test2'/> <add path='doc'><any><a><a1 id='1'/><b1 ref='1'/></a><b1 ref='1'/></any></add> </commands> What I would have expected is 1 hit in any of the cases, but finding the correct context in predicate expressions confused me more than one time... Regards, Simon (BaseX Version is 7.8 beta 8f51466)
