Re: [basex-talk] Using Client/Server? How-to

Hi Pratik,

1. I will have to keep the DB on a server with proper networking so that

the clients can access the DB.

Yes.

2. I will have to change the DB path on clients (in Preferences) and it

would be the Server's path.

No. Your client will connect to the server and from then on access to the data will be handled by your clients.

3. Instead of running the stand-alone, I will have to start Server and on

clients, the BaseX Client.

Yes. So you will have to start your server at a machine with IP address X. Using linux (similar on windows) you can do so by running ./basexserver

It will run on the BaseX standard port 1984. Your clients can not connect to the server by issueing ./basexclient -n X -p 1984

So far, I haven't tried this, as any mistake on my part or of employees' might damage the DB.

You might want to do a Backup (see https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Backups for more information).

Cheers, Dirk
