initial installation observation
by e-letter 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Readers, Basex772 jar file was installed into a directory /usr/local/basex A symbolic link was created: cat >> /usr/local/bin/basex java -jar /usr/local/basex/basex772.jar In normal user home directory, basex started from command terminal, but the command line options are not active, e.g. 'basex -h' does not show the help file in the command terminal, but starts basex standalone. Also command terminal 'basex -i /path/to/existing/xmlfile.xml' does not open the xml file, but starts basex.

Issues inserting nodes with @xml:lang
by France Baril 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi, I am trying to figure out how to allow the use of @xml:lang in an .xqm. I've been using it before without the need to add any declaration, but in this case I am getting an error: Unexpected error: Improper use? Potential bug? Your feedback is welcome: Contact: basex-talk(a)mailman.uni-konstanz.de Version: BaseX 7.7.2 Java: Apple Inc., 1.6.0_65 OS: Mac OS X, i386 Stack Trace: ... I am able to reproduce the error and get rid of it simply by adding or removing @xml:lang attributes in my content. I have attached a simple example, you'll need a db named tests to receive the result. - If you run the .xqm as is, you should get the unexpected error. - If you remove all @xml:lang="en-us" in the function test-nodes:get-trans-units-1(), the result node will be saved in the tests db. What am I missing? -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril(a)architextus.com (514) 572-0341

Hi Guys, Running into some strange exceptions when trying to make changes to data in the database. The function is updating all attributes in a project to include lower case copies. When doing this on specific projects, it consistently fails with the stack trace below. Any thoughts?

Performance questions
by José Tomás Atria 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Dear all, I have a possibly dumb/trivial question with regards to resource utilization with BaseX. It's basically two things: 1) I'm working with a database that is smaller than the available memory in my main research machine. I noticed the MAINMEM option, but for some reason I couldn't get it to work, and then noticed that it would only affect newly created db's. Is it possible to tell BaseX to create a db in disk, and then load it into memory in full? would this increase performance? Would something like SET MAINMEM = true COPY DB 'diskDB' 'memDB' achieve something along these lines? 2) The machine I'm working on has a quad core processor. Is there anyway to process queries in parallel to take advantage of this? I made some superficial attempts through splitting queries and running them simultaneously, but it seems that the server is still confined to one cpu. I understand that adding multithreading support could be unnecesary and out of the scope of the project, but I thought of asking since I was already coming here to ask about memory. Thanks for any tips! jta. -- entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem

restxq: default namespace and variable in path annotation don't like each other
by Jean-philippe Magué 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hello, We think we've found something that looks like a bug. In the minimal file test_A.xqm, we declare a default namespace and a function with a very simple path annotation (without variable). It works just fine. In test_B.xqm, we just declare a function with a variable in its path annotation. This is OK as well. In test_C.xqm, we declare both a default namespace and a path annotation with a variable. This raises a NullPointerException as you can see in error.html (which also provide version number informations). The choice between variables in path annotation and default element namespace is a difficult one! We'd like to use them both! Or are we missing something ?

Serializing unescaped xml to string
by Joe Templeman 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hi all, Is there a way to output unescaped XML to a string for debugging purposes? In unittests we would like to output the XML returned when a test fails, here is my example: declare %unit:test function elementinfo-test:test-element-info() { let $cases := <cases> <case> <comment>Failed input</comment> <input>input</input> <output> <result> output </result> </output> </case> </cases> for $case in $cases/case let $result := {some function which returns XML} let $u := unit:assert(deep-equal($case/output, result), $case/comment/text() || " Input: " || $case/input/text() || " Expected: " || fn:serialize($case/output) || " Got: " || fn:serialize($result)) return $u }; But when a test fails, I get escaped XML as the output. Is there any way to get this as actual XML? Thanks, Joe

Getting started

Finally took a look - very impressive. I got some warnings on the command line, one about tagsoup which I have fixed, another that bamboozled me because I have a java runtime installed......any here is what I get..... I've looked for a search for the mailing list but it seems to be well concealed - so what should I do. [warning] /usr/bin/basex: No java runtime was found [warning] /usr/bin/basex: Unable to locate /usr/share/java/tagsoup.jar in /usr/share/java [warning] /usr/bin/basex: No JAVA_CMD set for run_java, falling back to JAVA_CMD = java

Upcoming: XMLPrague 2014!
by Christian Grün 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Dear all, The XMLPrague Conference is the most important event for XML experts, developers and users in Europe. Next year, it will take place from Feb 14-16 (Fri-Sun): http://www.xmlprague.cz/ Don’t miss the event (which is, by the way, very affordable)! Just like last year, we will be offering a BaseX User Meeting on Friday. We are currently compiling the agenda. As many of you are using BaseX in exciting projects, it would be great to have some of you talk about your experiences. Would you be interested? Just ask for more details. We are looking forward to seeing many of you in Prague, Christian
