Re: [basex-talk] XQuery Optimization suggestions

Hi Mansi,

My guess is that most time is spent to parse all the nodes in the database. If you know more about the database structure, you could replace some of the descendant with explicit child steps. Apart from that, I guess I'm repeating myself, but have you tried to remove duplicates in XQuery, or do grouping and sorting in the language? Usually, it's recommendable to do as much as possible in XQuery itself (although it might not be obvious how to do this at first glance).
