Dear Alex,

I would recommand you to either redirect the script output on command line, e.g. via "-o" [1], or use file:write() from the File Module [2].

Hope this helps, Christian

I've create a standalone script which creates a database and run's an xquery although I'm not clear on how to save the result of the xquery to file. generally I would like to create a database and run a series of xqueries each going to file rather than to the console output.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<commands> <show-databases/> <drop-db name="1997-i4enrich-10k"/> <create-db name="1997-i4enrich-10k"/>

<add

path="1997-i4enrich-10k">/mnt/xslt_volume/i4ContentOutput/DebugSet/10k-GHU-2009/MDAFalse/Completed/</add>

<info-db/>
<run file='../xquery/section-10k-metrics.xq'/>
<close/>

</commands>

I saw this on the documentation however I couldn't get it to work

Q{java:java.io.FileOutputStream}new("output.txt")

btw.. It might be nice to be able to say

<run file='../xquery/section-10k-metrics.xq' outputFile="filename.xml" />

Thanks
