Hi all,
This is yet another update on the next, upcoming version of BaseX:
We have added a new database administration (DBA) web frontend to our ZIP and EXE distributions. It allows you to create and administrate databases, evaluate queries in realtime, view log files, manage users, and more. It was completely written with XQuery and RESTXQ, apart from a few lines of Javascript code.
The new frontend was added due to the known shortcomings of the Java GUI, which cannot be used to run queries on other servers. As a consequence, we have removed the server dialog from the desktop application. We hope that DBA will help you to write your own web applications based on RESTXQ!
Some more infos and design goals can be found in our Wiki [1].
Have fun, we are looking forward to your feedback, Christian
PS: NO, the web frontend does not provide all the cute features of the desktop gui, like the treemap, scatterplot, syntax highlighting, etc… But it may provide some of them in future. Your contributions are welcome!
Dear Christian,
Do I have to download a module ? I have the following error :
HTTP ERROR 400
Problem accessing /dba. Reason:
Stopped at C:/Program Files (x86)/BaseX/webapp/dba/modules/html.xqm, 8/66: [XQST0059] Module 'http://exquery.org/ns/request' not found.
Best regards, Fabrice

Hi Christian,
The DBA looks good. One comment inspired by a quick play with it. It does not show the name of the logged in user. Indeed I have previously looked to get this information and it does not seem to be available via any BaseX function. Is this intentional?

Hi Christian, the feature is excellent. It definitely helps us in managing remote DBs that run on headless machines.
It happens, from time to time, that we need to modify one single attribute or text() in an XML resource. By now we access the resource via REST GET, copy and paste it into a tool like Postman change it there and then run the REST PUT on the URL. Since the dba is doing already good part of the job it would be nice to be able to modify the XML inline (in the textarea) and re-save the resource. Maybe one could add a Modify button to the Rename, Download, Replace toolbox that appears on top of textarea displaying the resource.
Thanks for the useful addon. M.
P.S. I completely overlooked that the RESTXQPATH been reset to 'restxq'? It took me 10 minutes to understand why I wasn't able to run dba! ;-D

Thanks all for the first DBA feedback. Will be incorporated before the official release.

Hi Andy,

True! It now does.
Indeed I have previously looked to get this information and it does not seem to be available via any BaseX function. Is this intentional?
Information on the logged in user is stored in a session variable, which I am requesting via the Session Module (see global.xqm and users.xqm).
In the long term, I would like to bring database and RESTXQ users closer together, as they have many similar properties. Commands like SHOW USERS or KILL could then be extended to also work for users that are registered via HTTP sessions.
I have just uploaded a new snapshot. In the "Users" panel, under "Browser Sessions", all users are now listed who are currently logged in in the DBA.
Cheers, Christian
Hi,
is there a way to use the DBA frontend with a war BaseX version?
Thank you.

Hi Christian,
i tried to copy the dba directory into the basex webapp one:
.../tomcat7/webapps/basex8 + data + *dba* + WEB-INF [...]
But I get this error at http://localhost:8080/basex8/ :
message _Stopped at /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps/BaseX80/dba/login.xqm, 118/18: [XPST0081] No namespace declared for 'user:list-details'._
That's the wrong way I guess...

Hope this helps? Christian
