Windows, WSL, and BaseX
by Jonathan Robie 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

I installed Windows System for Linux and installed BaseX on it, and also installed BaseX on Windows. Unfortunately, the two do not share databases. Is there a way to make them do so? Or a way to run basexgui from WSL? Or a better question that I should ask if I want to work productively on BaseX under Windows and am more accustomed to developing under Linux? Jonathan

Anticipating more complex data to follow
by Patrick Durusau 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Greetings! While working on some large but fairly simple data, I encountered BaseX using the underscore "_" as an element name when importing JSON. Not leaving well enough alone for present purposes, I encountered this post about anonymous objects in MarkLogic and how they resolve the problem. https://developer.marklogic.com/recipe/query-array-anonymous-objects/ Is there already a recommended solution for this problem? Or should I wait until I actually encounter it and ask again? Hope everyone is at the start of a great week!

XML Parsing Error: syntax error, Location: http://localhost:8984/rest/oshb?query=count(.), Line Number 1, Column 1:
by Patrick Durusau 16 Mar '22

Greetings! What puzzles is the correct count is returned, despite the error message, with the cursor under the first digit. Looking in the response, it appears that "favicon.ico" is missing and I suspect is the cause of the error. But I wanted to confirm that assumption. Thanks!

Dumb question: Adding files to BaseX database
by Patrick Durusau 14 Mar '22

Greetings! I'm using db:add to add files to a BaseX database, but am I just missing how to do that in the GUI? Thanks!

Way to Dynamically import a module?
by Buddy Kresge 14 Mar '22

I was wondering if in BaseX there is a way at run time to import a .xqm module, outside of the traditional "import module" statement. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. Buddy

Fuzzy matching in ft:search for terms with spaces
by Tamara Marnell 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hi everyone, The results for ft:search() with the "fuzzy" option set to "true" are unexpected for phrases with spaces in them. Usually "fuzzy" set to "false" will return fewer search results than when it's set to true, but I'm finding the opposite for phrases. Sometimes ft:search() doesn't return known exact matches for a phrase unless "fuzzy" is "false." For example, in my development environment I have a document titled Test Finding Aid. I'm tokenizing all text() nodes in an index database and verified that "test finding aid" is a phrase in the node included for full-text. <tokens> test xml test finding aid 1964 2002 test finding aid finding aid prepared central oregon community college 2008 [etc.] </tokens> When I ft:search() for the complete phrase "test finding aid" as one term with "fuzzy" set to "true," I get 4 results, none of which are the document titled Test Finding Aid with the index entry above. They're all results with "West" in the title that happen to have "west finding aid" in them when tokenized. But when I set "fuzzy" to "false," I get 1 result, and it is for the document titled Test Finding Aid. I expect all exact results to be included in fuzzy results, but other searches show that the exact results are often more numerous than the fuzzy ones for phrases. league women voters (as 3 distinct terms) Fuzzy true: 430 results Fuzzy false: 373 results (expected) league women voters (as 1 term) Fuzzy true: 281 results Fuzzy false: 299 results (not expected) pacific coast (as 2 distinct terms) Fuzzy true: 2,551 results Fuzzy false: 1,866 results (expected) pacific coast (as 1 term) Fuzzy true: 893 results Fuzzy false: 935 results (not expected) Does anyone know what's causing this, and what can be done about it? -Tamara -- Tamara Marnell Program Manager, Systems Orbis Cascade Alliance (orbiscascade.org <https://www.orbiscascade.org/>) Pronouns: she/her/hers

How to return/use the value of a nested counter?
by Ben Engbers 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hi, I have a collection of 740 documents with the following structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <officiele-publicatie xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://technische-documentatie.oep.overheid.nl/schema/op-xsd-2012-1"> <metadata> <meta name="OVERHEIDop.externMetadataRecord" scheme="" content="https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/h-tk-20202021-102-2/metadata.xml" /> </metadata> <handelingen> <agendapunt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="nee"> <tekst status="goed"> <al-groep> <al>Allereerst hebben we het traditionele mondelinge vragenuur. </al> </al-groep> </tekst> </spreekbeurt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="ja"> <tekst status="goed"> <al-groep> <al>Voorzitter. Het was altijd al een eer om hier te staan.</al> </al-groep> <al-groep> <al>De vragen die ik ga stellen, gaan over stikstof.</al> </al-groep> <al-groep> <al>We zijn allemaal 100 kilometer per uur gaan rijden, maar er is nog geen gram ammoniak uit de veehouderij minder uitgestoten.</al> </al-groep> </tekst> </spreekbeurt> </spreekbeurt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="nee"> <tekst status="goed"> <al-groep> <al>U heeft helaas maar één vraag, meneer Ephraim, als Groep Van Haga.</al> </al-groep> <al-groep> <al>Ik wil de minister bedanken voor haar beantwoording.</al> </al-groep> </tekst> </spreekbeurt> </agendapunt> </handelingen> </officiele-publicatie> I am trying to concatenate all the //<al> childs from <spreekbeurt> elements. Together with an ID that I construct from //meta/@content and a counter for <spreekbeurt>, I want this output: 20202021-102-2, 1, Allereerst ... 20202021-102-2, 2, Voorzitter... + De vragen ... + We zijn ... 20202021-102-2, 3, U heeft ... + Ik wil.. I expected that the following XQuery-statemnt would do it. import module namespace functx = "http://www.functx.com"; for $Debat at $CountOuter in collection("Parliament") (: where $CountOuter <= 3:) let $debate-id := fn:analyze-string( $Debat/officiele-publicatie/metadata/meta/@content, "(\d{8}-\d*-\d*)")//fn:match/*:group[@nr="1"]/text() order by $debate-id for $Beurt at $CountInner in $Debat let $tekst := $Beurt//spreekbeurt//al/text() return($debate-id, $CountInner, $tekst) Instead it returns: 20202021-102-2, 1, Allereerst ...+ Voorzitter... + De vragen ... + We zijn ... + U heeft ... + Ik wil.. How can I use the value of $CountInner? Ben

XQuery versus XSL

Hi, I have a collection of 740 documents with the following structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <officiele-publicatie xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://technische-documentatie.oep.overheid.nl/schema/op-xsd-2012-1"> <metadata> <meta name="OVERHEIDop.externMetadataRecord" scheme="" content="https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/h-tk-20202021-102-2/metadata.xml" /> </metadata> <handelingen> <agendapunt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="nee"> <tekst status="goed"> <al-groep> <al>Allereerst hebben we het traditionele mondelinge vragenuur. </al> </al-groep> </tekst> </spreekbeurt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="ja"> <tekst status="goed"> <al-groep> <al>Voorzitter. Het was altijd al een eer om hier te staan.</al> </al-groep> <al-groep> <al>De vragen die ik ga stellen, gaan over stikstof.</al> </al-groep> <al-groep> <al>We zijn allemaal 100 kilometer per uur gaan rijden, maar er is nog geen gram ammoniak uit de veehouderij minder uitgestoten.</al> </al-groep> </tekst> </spreekbeurt> </spreekbeurt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="nee"> <tekst status="goed"> <al-groep> <al>U heeft helaas maar één vraag, meneer Ephraim, als Groep Van Haga.</al> </al-groep> <al-groep> <al>Ik wil de minister bedanken voor haar beantwoording.</al> </al-groep> </tekst> </spreekbeurt> </agendapunt> </handelingen> </officiele-publicatie> I want to experiment with textmining and for these experiments, it would be usefull if for every <spreekbeurt>, all <al>/text() elements were concated.The first option is to use XQuery for concatenating. Another option is to use XSL to transform the original documents to the following structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <officiele-publicatie xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://technische-documentatie.oep.overheid.nl/schema/op-xsd-2012-1"> <metadata> <meta name="OVERHEIDop.externMetadataRecord" scheme="" content="https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/h-tk-20202021-102-2/metadata.xml" /> </metadata> <handelingen> <agendapunt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="nee"> <tekst status="goed"> Allereerst hebben we het traditionele mondelinge vragenuur. </tekst> </spreekbeurt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="ja"> <tekst status="goed"> Voorzitter. Het was altijd al een eer om hier te staan. De vragen die ik ga stellen, gaan over stikstof. We zijn allemaal 100 kilometer per uur gaan rijden, maar er is nog geen gram ammoniak uit de veehouderij minder uitgestoten. </tekst> </spreekbeurt> </spreekbeurt> <spreekbeurt nieuw="nee"> <tekst status="goed"> U heeft helaas maar één vraag, meneer Ephraim, als Groep Van Haga. Ik wil de minister bedanken voor haar beantwoording. </tekst> </spreekbeurt> </agendapunt> </handelingen> </officiele-publicatie> Question: What are the pros and cons of both methods? Is it difficult to do this in XSL (I have only used very simple transformations)? Ben

Edit to https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Server and question
by Patrick Durusau 08 Mar '22

08 Mar '22

Greetings! I edited https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Server to change: Add the stop keyword to gracefully shut down the server. to: Use |basexserverstop| or |basexserverstop.bat| to gracefully shut down the server. Question, in the first paragraph following this list, the text reads: "Pressing |Ctrl+c| will close all connections and databases and gracefully shut down the server process." True? False? Somewhere in between? If true it should be the third alternative after basexserverstop.bat, but then why the scripts if we can always Ctrl+c? What am I missing? Thanks!
