Hello Günter, Did you have a look at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands#Command_Scripts You can use several XQUERY or RUN commands, and the SET command to configure the db or index options.

They all depend on the basic db 'mydata'. Whenever mydata is updated, I have to update the other dbs. 1. xq-file: db:create('mydata', path/to/my/xml ..... 2. xq-file: db:create('searchindex', let $data0 := db:open('mydata') ..... 3. xq-file: db:create('indd-xml', let $data0 := db:open('mydata').... 4. and so on First question: Is there any way to put the whole process into one command-script? Or is there any kind of other batch-processing? Second question: So far I'm creating the db 'mydata' with the GUI. I want to integrate the creating into the batch-processing via XQuery. In generell I know the create-command, but where to put the options: use XInclude, chop-whitespace OFF and Fulltext Language German internal, Stemming OFF, Case Sensitive and Diacritics ON? Can't find it in the docs. Thanks for any help, Günter
