I see now that I can change the path in the GUI under preferences, but once I change it I cannot access databases in the "data" folder anymore. It seems that in db:open I can specify to open a particular file of a database, but I cannot specify the path to a database in a folder different from the default one: is that right? Thanks!

Hi Giuseppe,

As DBPATH is a command, no option, you will need to set as detailed in
the Options page of our documentation [1]. Please note that DBPATH is
a global option. It cannot be assigned at runtime; instead, it must be
assigned before BaseX is started

Ciao,
Christian

Hi,

I would like to create a database in a directory which is not "data" within the Basex folder. I used (within the GUI) the command

<commands>
<dbpath name="/newdirectory"/>
</commands>

but it does not work. How can I specify that? Thanks.

Ciao,
Giuseppe
