Re: [basex-talk] FW: database compatibility - adding several binary resource files

Dear Fabrice,

1. just in case... are databases created with BaseX 6.5 (and so backups) compatible with BaseX 7.0 ?

Yes; since Version 6.0, we haven't changed the database format. It might be changed with Version 8.0, in order to support a larger range of namespace bindings, larger database instances etc., but we'll clearly post that changes if they'll be happening.

2. Is there a way to load several binary resource files with only one command or xquery function (like ADD or db:add for textual resources) ?

Currently no, but it will probably be added in Version 7.1 (both on command line and in the GUI) by extending the CREATE and ADD command with a parser for raw data.

Stay tuned, Christian
