Is there a way to store a map in a database and use it in other queries without recomputing it each time? Jonathan

Local deployment of a database
by Jonathan Robie 24 Mar '22

24 Mar '22

We are creating server instances, but we also have users who want to work locally. Ideally, I would like to be able to create an installer that would add BaseX and a set of databases to a user's system. How hard would it be to do that? Jonathan

GUI syntax highlighting
by marc＠crosseyed.nl 23 Mar '22

23 Mar '22

The syntax highlighting doesn't change when changing the look and feel in the BaseX GUI (9.6.2). I noticed this also happens in earlier versions. After changing to a dark background this results in blue on black, for instance. This happens with the JTattoo lib, but also GTK under a dark Linux theme. This occurs in Linux, all kinds of distro's, both Debian and Fedora based. Open JDK 11.0.6. In BaseX GUI 8.6.x all is fine, running under the same conditions. Regards, Marc

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

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!

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

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
