use-character-maps vs parameter-document with db:export()
Hi, when using db:export, the serialization parameter use-character-maps works just fine. But can someone explain why it is not possible to use parameter-document? At least, it does not work here with 10.3. As in: db:export($dbname,$path, map{ 'indent':'no', 'omit-xml-declaration':'no', 'parameter-document':'map.xml' }) OK I can see that there is no parameter-document option in the table I can find here defined for fn:serialize(): https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions-31/#func-serialize When not using db:export(), all is well as described: https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Serialization#Character_mappings So in short, I think the answer is the spec. Is it? Have a nice weekend, Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Is it?
It is. Maybe the parameter could be introduced with the 4.0 version of the spec. I invite you to add a proposal for it in the qtspecs repository [1]. Thanks, Christian [1] https://github.com/qt4cg/qtspecs/issues
Thanks for the hint. So this would be a parameter for the implementation option that is described in detail here: https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt-xquery-serialization-31/#serparams-in-xdm-instanc... I was not sure, because it is declared a standard (BaseX) parameter here https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Serialization#Standard_Parameters but not getting respected in db:export() (https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module#db:export) It only works when is is declared in the prolog, as in your example on the wiki page (declare option output:parameter-document "map.xml";) Daniel Von: Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 3.

Thanks, Daniel, I double-checked the documents. As you’ve already indicated, the parameter-document option is only allowed in the query prolog, i.e., it is an XQuery feature, not something that’s defined in the Serialization or XQuery Functions & Operators spec. I’ve revised our documentation. I assume the option was not light-weight enough to embed it in the other specs, but it could still be discussed in the qtspecs repo if you like.
