Hi Nigel,

1. You have to run a query on the database like: for $doc in collection() let $path := base-uri($doc) return $path

2. Yes you can do that, see the following example: script test (save as test): create db test xquery insert node <root /> into doc("test") xquery doc("test")/root

run the script: java -cp basex-6.2.9.jar org.basex.BaseX (or BaseXClient) < test

3. There is currently no 'reload' command...So you have to replace the file by your own.

4. You can have a look at the homepage on http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/commands or just ask for more information.

I hope i could help, dont hesitate to ask for more.

Kind regards, Andreas

I have some beginner questions regarding BaseX Client;

1. How can I list the documents in a database?
2. Is there a way to batch BaseX Client commands up to execute several

commands automatically like a DOS batch file without having to manually type them each time? 3. Is there a 'reload' command to reload a document from it's source file or do I have to use the 'add' command and specify a file? 4. Is there any documentation regarding the BaseX Client commands other than the 'help' text?

Thanks,

Nigel
