Hi Steve, your observation reminded me of a GitHub issue that has been opened quite a while ago. I have added a pointer to your message in that issue [1], I hope we’ll find a good solution for that inconsistency. We have repeatedly postponed the fix, as it might introduce incompatibilities with existing instances of BaseX database instances.

With a database containing MS Word .docx zip (and other) files:

collection('BOV') ! base-uri(.)

Returns =>

Error: Stopped at ., 1/29: [XQST0046] URI '/BOV/DCP-66/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS/2015_AUG_BOV_RETREAT_MINS.docx/[Content_Types].xml' is invalid.

I’m guessing it doesn’t like the brackets as part of a URI, but since I’m adding the whole docx container, I can’t specify a different path when creating the DB.

collection('BOV') ! db:path(.) However, works as a workaround:
