[basex-talk] Pulling files from multiple zips into one DB

[Hondros, Constantine (ELS-AMS)]

Hello all,
I need to merge any XML files located in 500 GB of zips into a single DB for 
further analysis. Is there any faster or more efficient way to do it in BaseX 
than this? TIA.

for $zip in file:list($src, false(), '*.zip')
  let $arch := file:read-binary(concat($src, '\', $zip))
  for $a in archive:entries($arch)[ends-with(., 'xml')]
  return db:add('my_db', archive:extract-text($arch, $a), $a)


TIA,
Constantine
