A problem with that is that it evaluates the variable each time. If you need it to only evaluate once (expensive operation), something else needs to be done. I would like to know an answer to this so that I can schedule jobs on start up without involving processes external to basex.

If you define a module name in your repo: 1- module namespace myNs = 'http://www.xxxxx.fr/xxxx-repo’<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.xxxxx.fr_xxxx-2Drepo-25E2-2580-2599&d=DwMFaQ&c=DS6PUFBBr_KiLo7Sjt3ljp5jaW5k2i9ijVXllEdOozc&r=JgwnBEpN1c-DDmq-Up2QMq9rrGyfWK0KtSpT7dxRglA&m=6BbM4k_uDRdhjURAbaUe8SgS19qfgxyIM03BQbY2xzk&s=vnUoDRkXSxl-NAs4wmOr8q2saq5Y9K0_k6l71w-jrrM&e=>; You can define in your repo a new variable : 1- declare variable $myNs:testid := db:open(‘xxxxx')/utilisateurs/entry/sessions/session/id=session:id(); Then import your module in your restxq: 1- import module namespace isi = 'http://www.isilex.fr/isi-repo’<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.isilex.fr_isi-2Drepo-25E2-2580-2599&d=DwMFaQ&c=DS6PUFBBr_KiLo7Sjt3ljp5jaW5k2i9ijVXllEdOozc&r=JgwnBEpN1c-DDmq-Up2QMq9rrGyfWK0KtSpT7dxRglA&m=6BbM4k_uDRdhjURAbaUe8SgS19qfgxyIM03BQbY2xzk&s=7iT9husSt3pxwCXxx8Kf7Sf1KKDDurqvyhDHERP1p2g&e=>; And access your variables: 1- $myNs:testid More here: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_3.0#External_Variables<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__docs.basex.org_wiki_XQuery-5F3.0-23External-5FVariables&d=DwMFaQ&c=DS6PUFBBr_KiLo7Sjt3ljp5jaW5k2i9ijVXllEdOozc&r=JgwnBEpN1c-DDmq-Up2QMq9rrGyfWK0KtSpT7dxRglA&m=6BbM4k_uDRdhjURAbaUe8SgS19qfgxyIM03BQbY2xzk&s=tfVbcjLW6lGgTfWHzfgWtKLPja7kdFONHW74KF_CdiA&e=> Sorry If I’m wrong and didn’t understand, XLS Le 5 sept. 2017 à 01:37, Erik Peterson <e...@ardec.com<mailto:e...@ardec.com>> a écrit : How can I create a variable that is evaluated only once but accessed across many RestXQ requests and sessions. I'm trying to cache data that comes from an integration with an expensive operation. Does BaseX support something similar to server variables like Mark Logic?
