Hi Bram,

Users with admin permissions can request the database path via "db:system()//dbpath".

Hope this helps, Christian

Hi List

In a .basex file we can set the destination of our database. If we then create a server, and create a database using a client, the BaseX-files will be created in that directory. Is it possible to get the path to this directory from within the client? In Perl I tried running the following command after looking through the basex client, but I got an ‘undef’:

my $session = Session->new($host, $port, $user, $pw);

          my $t = $session->info;

          $session->close;



          print $t;

Any ideas how to get the configuration values for a basex server from a (Perl) client?

Thank you

Bram
