A little update: With BaseX 9.0, the DBA default directory will be data/.dba. On Sat, Nov 4, 2017 at 5:26 PM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Stefania,

With BaseX 9.0, it will be possible to change the query directory. But I agree it could make sense to move the DBA settings file, and maybe also the default query folder, into the database directory. We’ll have some more thoughts on this [1]; feedback from other users is welcome.

Best, Christian

Hi all, i noticed that queries (http://localhost:8984/dba/queries) and the dba setting are saved in the temp directory and not on the \basex\data dir.

For example: - C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\AppData\Local\Temp\dba\ if BaseX is installed from the zip file in Wndows Os - C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\Liberty\usr\servers\myApp\temp\dba if BaseX is installed as BaseX.war on WebSphere Liberty in Windows OS

All the other data seems to be under the home basex\data directory: logs, databases, users.

Is that a reason for that?

thanks Stefania
