Hi all, This constant's name is somhow misleading, Because it seems to contain the smallest positive value actually, Not the biggest negative one [1] :

Dean Cc : BaseX Objet : Re: [basex-talk] Strange index values with numerics Hi Zack, I helps indeed! I learnt that -Double.MAX_VALUE is smaller than Double.MIN_VALUE in Java. The fix turned out to be pretty straightforward [1]; a new stable snapshot is available [2].
