Looking at the basex source code, LocalSession.close also does context.closeDB(). So, I think you only need LocalSession.close or the try block does it for you in your example.

I now return all 3 documents I expect are in the database. FOLLOW-UP Question: How do I close the database properly with these classes? I had been doing a context.closeDB() when shutting-down. Do I just do a localSession.close() now? Or do I need to do both? Thanks again!!!

Your code creates the context, associates the new LocalSession with the context, and THEN opens the existing database. (That's more akin to how a JDBC session would go...but I did not see any java examples with this, I followed the examples on the java page and only found LocalSession via a google search.) There doesn't appear to be any details in the javadoc or anything I can find regarding how to use LocalSession, so I could be off base from that pov. -AJ On 3/10/2017 4:18 PM, Kendall Shaw wrote: This worked for me, where “test-local” contains a document: Context context = new Context(); LocalSession s = new LocalSession(context); s.execute(new Check("test-local")); try (Query q = s.query("for $doc in collection() return $doc")) { while (q.more()) { System.out.println(q.next()); } } But, why your code isn’t working could be useful to know. It seems like there are some details left out.

What would collection() be referring to? How would BaseX know what to return? Probably there is no database specified. Presumably, in the GUI you have opened a database. Yes, I did not include my code to open the database. There is a database open and this does not throw an exception, it just returns no results. In my constructor of this class there is the following code: new Check(this.MyID).execute(context); (MyID is a String identifying the database I want to work with exclusively with this context passed.) As I mentioned in a separate post, my query where matches(uri...) works fine...every time. That query also does not have a specific collection in the query.

I am trying the GUI now. It is an excellent tool! However, issuing the same exact XQuery in the GUI returns 3 documents (which is what I would have originally expected). Maybe it is an issue with how I setup my query in java? Here is my code: try (LocalSession session = new LocalSession(this.context)) { //test try (Query q = session.query("for $doc in collection() return $doc")) { while (q.more()) { LOG.debug("RESULT: " + q.next()); } } } catch (Exception e) { LOG.error("Could not execute query " + statement, e); } Best regards, Fabrice De : basex-talk-boun...@mailman.uni-konstanz.de<mailto:basex-talk-boun...@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> [mailto:basex-talk-boun...@mailman.uni-konstanz.de] De la part de Aaron Weber Envoyé : jeudi 9 mars 2017 00:31 À : basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de<mailto:basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> Objet : [basex-talk] Simple query Newbie alert. I'm trying to get my feet wet with BaseX, and in doing so, am trying to understand XQuery and how to apply it to a database full of documents (not just a single document that is typically queried). I am using Java and can post my code, but with a LocalSession, and a query, the following produces 0 results. For $doc in collection() return $doc I realize there's no "where", and in the sql world that would match all. Maybe not in XQuery? Obviously just a test query, but I need to start somewhere. :-) Thanks for any help! -- AJ
