Hi Hector

I run query like you, only using my existing database name and counting my elements, which exists there and I had no problem. I suspected that before : shall be a space, but this is not the case, it makes no difference in my test:

D:\opt\BaseX>java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Padmin  -c"open ISO;xquery <results>{ let $total:=count(//LOCT) return <total>{$total}</total>}</results>"

<results>

  <total>1487</total>

</results>

I use BaseX version 6.6.1

1. What version of BaseX do you use?
2. Are you sure you run the same version for server and for the client? Once I had troubles mixing different versions.

With best regards

Hello,

I am trying to run some Xqueries from command line but I am getting the following error:

 

$ java -cp "C:\Program Files\BaseX\BaseX.jar" org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Pa
dmin  -c"open dbname;xquery <results>{ let $total:=count(//callRecords/*) return <t
otal>{$total}</total>}</results>"
Error: Stopped at line 1, column 30:
[XPST0003] Expecting "}", found ":".

 

If I run the query from the GUI it runs correctly, but here I am always getting this error.

 

I tried running other dummy queries that work in the GUI but here I get an error like this:

$ java -cp "C:\Program Files\BaseX\BaseX.jar" org.basex.BaseXClient -Uadmin -Pa
dmin  -c"open dbname;xquery let $total := count(//callRecords/*) return $total"
Error: Stopped at line 1, column 23:
Syntax: XQUERY [query]
  Evaluate XQuery.

 

 

 

Any idea of how to solve this?

Is it possible to use let in queries from command?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hector
