Hi Andreas,
the best way to produce CSV is to directly use XQuery and format the output as required. A simple example (Leo, a member of our team, will give you a more elaborate reply in a while):
declare option output:format "no"; for $rows in 1 to 2 return ( let $cols := ('1', '2', '3') return string-join($cols, ','), ' ')
As you mentioned our professional offerings: If you don't feel that safe in writing XQuery, or if you believe that we might be faster, we'll be glad to find an individual solution that suits all your needs; feel free to write to support@basex.org.

Hello, I have got question regarding the export function of Basex. I used BaseX to load the Reuters Corpus Volume 1 which is a corpus of around 800k files, unzipped nealry 3GB in size. Is there any way to export some parts of these files (with xpath), parsed into a Basex database, to csv? I am aware that those kind of questions would probably fall under the support which costs. But if there is any simpler solution for that it would be very nice if you could post it. It would help me a lot! Best regards, Andreas
