HiI see, that all queries are really living in its "within my connection" world and other clients, incl. GUI do not reflect it.
Could someone explain, what exactly can be expected from that?
Will other clients see mu updates after they reconnect?
Can there arise some conflict? Like two clients updating the same node at the same time.
These are quite important facts as it may affect way of deployment significantly (I am planning implementation, where we will handle traffic information with changes in minute by minute manner)
With best regards

Note that the REST/JaxRx implementation starts a server instance of
BaseX, which does not communicate with the GUI version of BaseX. As a
result, and for the sake of performance, the changes performed via
REST won't be reflected in the visual frontend. You shouldn't
encounter any problems if you stay in one world, i.e., if you do all
communication with REST, or the command-line client connecting to the
server instance.

We have lots of users who operate BaseX in read-only environments, and
we're continuously extending our support for scenarios that depend on
stable realtime updates. Indeed, BaseX is very performant when it
comes to updates – it's actually much faster than most competing
systems we have tested by now – which is due to the fact that we have
a very low updating overhead (no indexes are updated, no backups are
performed for rollbacks, etc). Instead, BaseX includes manual features
to rebuild your indexes and backup/restore the data. If you want to
perform some tests on your workloads, I recommend to work with the
latest version of BaseX (6.2.9), which included many fixes that have
optimized the stability of our update operations. Along with the next
official version, you'll get better documentation on the latest
features. Advanced, optional update/transaction features to further
minimize the danger of losing data are on our todo list.
Hope this helps,
Christian
