Handling exceptions in the Python Client API
by Jonathan Robie 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

I am now happily using BaseX from Jupyter Notebooks for Greek data - see these links: http://jonathanrobie.biblicalhumanities.org/blog/2017/12/08/jupyter-tutoria… http://jonathanrobie.biblicalhumanities.org/assets/greeksyntax-tutorial-pro… But I need to know how to handle exceptions, e.g. if the notebook user writes a query with an error in it. And I would also like to return some result if the query returns an empty sequence. Here is the current code: https://github.com/biblicalhumanities/greek-new-testament/blob/master/labno… How can I improve what I am doing? Jonathan

Setting a default collation for a database
by Jonathan Robie 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

I would like to set a default collation for a database, a collation that will be used for all queries unless the user asks for a different collation. My use case: a database in Greek will never be sensibly sorted using an English collation, and I don't want users to need to specify collations over and over. Is this possible? Jonathan

Bulk adding with "add" in client
by Robert Crews 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

With a database created and opened, I can recursively bulk add the all the *.xml files in a directory called /opt/sources With this command > add /opt/sources http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands#ADD In the GUI, I can change the pattern to, for example, "*.dita*", to load all the *.dita and *.ditamap files instead of the *.xml files. Is there a way I can define a glob pattern for bulk loads using the add command or some other command from the client? Thanks, Robert

TLS 1.2
by Marco Lettere 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hi list, I need to perform an integration with a service that talks HTTP over TLS 1.2. I have the mutual certificates and all the rest. My idea was to do as less as possible (mostly handshaking) in Java and then use the Java call the code from inside XQuery where all the rest happens. Just wanted to be sure that there isn't a way to do everything in XQuery. Is it? Thanks, Marco.

queries and setting on temp directory
by Stefania Axo 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hi all, i noticed that queries (http://localhost:8984/dba/queries) and the dba setting are saved in the temp directory and not on the \basex\data dir. For example: - C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\AppData\Local\Temp\dba\ if BaseX is installed from the zip file in Wndows Os - C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty\usr\servers\myApp\temp\dba if BaseX is installed as BaseX.war on WebSphere Liberty in Windows OS All the other data seems to be under the home basex\data directory: logs, databases, users. Is that a reason for that? thanks Stefania

XQuery 3.1/Build array of maps dynamically
by Hondros, Constantine (ELS-AMS) 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hello all, I want to dynamically build a map where the value is an array of maps. I am having a problem with the syntax. (My use-case is to deliver this as JSON for simple ingestion to Spark, by the way). Here's my test code, which translates cleanly into JSON: declare option output:method 'json'; map { "authors": [ map{"fn":"John", "ln":"Smith"}, map{"fn":"Jane", "ln":"Doe"} ] } However, when I try to build the same map dynamically, I get the error "Value has more than one item". I guess this is because my for loop is returning a sequence, but I can't figure out the syntax to get it working. Any ideas? declare option output:method 'json'; map { "authors": [ (for $b in $authors return (: just assume $authors is populated ...:) map{"fn":$b/*:given-name/text(), "ln":$b/*:surname/text()}) ] } TIA! ________________________________ Elsevier B.V.

bat problem with latest builds v9
by Andy Bunce 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Hi, Bat files for reecent builds are not running for me and contain a line like: set CP=%MAIN%\target\classes;%MAIN%\lib\*;%MAIN%\lib\custom\* Looks like a substition is not happening somewhere. I think should be: set CP=%MAIN%\BaseX.jar;%MAIN%\lib\*;%MAIN%\lib\custom\* /Andy
