Dear Ms Chantola, if you want to dig in more deeply, you should have a look at the Data class. It offers basic methods for accessing the size, distance, parent, etc. for a specified pre value. Some additional information on the storage is given at the top of the class: https://svn.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/basex/trunk/basex/src/main/java/org/basex/d... Our current documentation on the internals is the source code; I'm sorry we have no additional publications available, but you are invited to check out some of our lecture slides: http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/teaching/ws0708/dbissem/BaseXInside.pdf http://www.inf.uni-konstanz.de/dbis/teaching/ws0708/xml/24-Native.pdf Feel free to ask for more, Christian On Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 12:29 PM, Chantola Kit <kchantola@kde.cs.tsukuba.ac.jp> wrote:

Dear Mr./Ms. Christian:

Thank you very much for your reply. "info table" works for table dump. However, how can I process to the table contents using BaseX? For example, I want to extract "pre" and "Dis" from the table. Do you have any documentation which explain the table processing in BaseX?

With regards, Chantola

Dear Kit,

thanks for your feedback. Yes, we store all XML data in a flat table structure. You can use the BaseX command "info table" to dump the internal representation.

Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________

Dear Sir/Madam: I am reading a paper on title "XQuery Full Text Implementation in BaseX". In the paper, I am interested in the Documment Storage in BaseX. For my understanding, you store XML data a table of pre, dist, size, data attributes. But, I don't know how to get to the mentioned table in BaseX. Could you please give me more detail of how I can see the table of XML storage in BaseX? I am looking forward to hearing from you.
