Hello Mike,
Thank you for the response. After a few hours of contemplation and reading I still have yet to come up with a way to merge changes in an XML file to the BaseX database created with a previous version of that file. Now, I have come up with a bunch of work arounds but nothing clean. Do you know of any tools that I might look into?
Many Thanks, Eric

Hi Eric. Welcome to astonishing word of XQuery and BaseX. If you mean xml files, which are stored inside of BaseX - you can modify the file (by commands, XQuery or other API), but you cannot delete it from the collection because XQuery itself does not provide such a method. However, you are free to set it to empty element, if you need. Be sure, that the file inside of BaseX database and on your disk, from where you probably imported them, are two different things living separate life. There are of course tools to handle some syncing, but I do not do this so I cannot help in it much. With best regards Jan Ing.

Hello all,
I am new to BaseX. I want to know how one handles frequently updated xml files. Do you have to monitor the file with a third party tool and upon change drop the file from BaseX and re-add it?
