So, for 6.3.4, it creates from the command line, but it’s empty.  The root of that path has NO files in it.  The 5861 files are in all the subdirectories.

 

Then, when I try the same syntax with 6.1, I get the following results:

 

> create db songs C:\Users\David\Documents\OpenSong\songpacks\Songs

Stopped at line 1, column 17:

Syntax: CREATE [DB|COLL|FS|INDEX|USER] [...]

  Create database, index or user.

 

Creates a new database, index or user:

- DB [path] [name?]:

  creates the database [name] for the file or directory [path]

- COLL [name]:

  creates an empty database [name]

- INDEX [TEXT|ATTRIBUTE|FULLTEXT|PATH]:

  creates the specified index

- FS [path] [name] ([mountpoint] [backingstore]):

  creates filesystem database [name] for [path]

  (using [mountpoint] and [backingstore] if FUSE is activated)

- USER [name] [password?]:

  creates the specified user

 

 

Summary:

6.1 GUI – works as I want it

6.1 command line – can’t get it to create

6.3.4 GUI – creates but with only 14 entries

6.3.4 command line – creates, but it’s empty

 

I don’t mind staying with 6.1, but I DO want to do everything with the command line.

 

Is the ADD syntax the same, in that I can simply specify the path and it will recurse the whole directory tree?

 

Thanks!!!

David

Subject: Re: [basex-talk] Database creation from a directory tree

 

Additional question: That was in the GUI.  I’d like to do the same thing using the command line with the .JAR file, but somewhere my syntax is not right.  Additionally, all the XML files have NO EXTENSION so I don’t know how to specify that either in the command line.  So, any help in that area would also be appreciated.

Could you provide your syntax?

The syntax should be:
create db dbname path/to/folder

The missing extension shouldnt be a problem, i just tested it.

In the GUI in 6.1, I can create a database from a whole directory hierarchy of 5,681 individual XML files.  When I point to the same source file directory and using the 6.3.4 GUI (which I installed with a pre-release version of the installer), it only processes 14 files.  No error message (that I saw) was produced.  The behavior that I’m wanting is what 6.1 does.   Glad to help in solving the problem.

We will check for modifications between the releases. As quick workaround you could try to create an empty database and then add the documents with the Database/Add documents menu.

Kind regards,
Andreas
