I am looking at the documentation for WITHDB and I want to ask for further explanation 'If db:open is consistently used to access documents', does it means as opposed to having a DEFAULTDB or does it mean that we use db:open but not local queries on the document obtained (example below), or since there is a notion of lock, do you mean db:open as opposed to db:add or db:replace? In short, I lack context to interpret the explanation. let $current-doc := db:open($lang)/*[@id=x] (: Query document further without db:opened :) let $avaliable-sections := $current-doc/descendant::*[name()=''section][@status !='archived']
From the documentation: WITHDB
Introduced with Version 9.3. *Signature* WITHDB *Default* true *Summary* By default, URIs specified in the fn:doc <http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases#XML_Documents> and fn:collection <http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases#XML_Documents> functions will also be resolved against existing databases. If db:open <http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module#db:open> is consistently used to access database documents, it is recommendable to disable this option: - Access to local and external resources will be faster, as the database lookup will be skipped. - No locks will be created by the two functions (see limitations of database locking <http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Transaction_Management#Limitations> for more details). -- France Baril Architecte documentaire / Documentation architect france.baril@architextus.com
