Hi Craig, if you are running BaseX from inside the Application Bundle (BaseX.app) you may add the startup options inside the apps plist file:

$ vi /Applications/BaseX.app/Contents/Info.plist

It has a section called VMOptions where you can add more memory as needed. But maybe optimizing your query might be more helpful, posting is welcome :-) Anyway, to run BaseX from Terminal download the ZIP file and use the startup scripts [1] provided inside the ZIP. Hope this helped Michael [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Start_Scripts Am 23.06.2011 um 18:43 schrieb Christian Grün:

Dear Craig,

Our documentation should answer your questions:

How does your query look like? Christian

I have 2 db's I would like to join. I have the xq thanks to help from Michael yesterday, but my db's are large and I receive a 'out of main memory' error. I have found some info on command line options but have been unable to get them to work. I am running BaseX on OS X. Is there a way to run an xq from the terminal or have the output from the xq go to a file rather than the screen?

Thank you all for your help,
