Re: [basex-talk] restriction on number of namespaces has apparently been lifted – thank you

2014-03-20 Thread Imsieke, Gerrit, le-tex
As Christian has pointed out in private, this limitation hasn’t been 
lifted yet. I ran into it when I tried to index all the XML files on my 
hard disk.
It worked for my code files yesterday because I switched to a new 
computer 1 year ago, and the number of code files / namespaces in them 
has not reached the critical limit yet.


So I made an issue out of it: https://github.com/BaseXdb/basex/issues/902

This has already proved really useful: I knew that I wrote an XProc step

Perfect. It's helpful to know that BaseX interprets all command-line
flags from left to right.. This way, flags that have been activated
for a first command/query/etc. can later be turned off again in a
single basex call.

Have a good evening,
Christian

HURRA! -wi fixes the problem! Thank you very much, Christian, and Dirk, too.

I had not understood that I must use -w in combination with i - what I had 
tried was -i ... -w .

Now I know how I can always avoid the problem (which tends to be necessary when 
dealing with mixed content, where of course embedded markup is usually preceded 
and following by whitespace.)

Problem solved, file closed, BaseX top.

Kind regards,
Hans-Jürgen 

Trailing remark - of course your side answer is true, I had not thought of 
that: options do not render the code unportable. Thanks for the reminder!

Re: [basex-talk] Bug (?) - trailing whitespace in text nodes

2014-03-20 Thread Hans-Juergen Rennau
Mm, the documentation says:

"Chops all leading and trailing whitespaces from text nodes while building a 
database, and discards empty text nodes. By default, this option is set to 
true, as it often reduces the database size by up to 50%. It can also be turned 
off on command line via -w."

The text states clearly that chopping affects only text nodes stored into a 
database.

At any rate - the problem remains, whether or not I use option -w, and whether 
or not I use prolog option db:chop. (Side remark: it would be a serious issue 
if the prolog option were required, as this would imply that standard 
conformant behaviour could only be achieved by making the code unportable.)

Kind regards,
Hans-Juergen

 Dear Hans-Jürgen,
 
 I am not quite sure it is
 intended that the CHOP option is applied to
 text nodes. At least the wording in the
 documentation ("while building a
 database") does not indicate it, while I
 think it actually does make
 sense. Christian
 will have to answer whether this works as is intended
 behavior.
 
 However, you can set the chop option to false
 within your XQuery by
 declaring it
   declare option db:chop "false";
 
 and this should also affect
 reading in files from the file system. At
 least this works for me.
 
 Cheers,
 Dirk

Re: [basex-talk] BaseX: Upcoming Features

2014-03-20 Thread Andy Bunce
To put some numbers on query precompilation [3]. I have been using Apache
ab  to time a very simple RESTXQ request

declare  %rest:GET %rest:path("bsp/simple")
%output:method("text")
function simple() {"test"};

>ab -n 100 -c 10 http://localhost:8984/bsp/simple

I timed this when my webapp folder had a large number of unrelated, and
uncalled, RESTXQ folders and apps and I get *1.77 requests / second*. If I
remove all these, to leave just the one simple() function  I get *366
requests / second*. (This later figure is not that far from what I get
serving from /static.)

Re: [basex-talk] Bug (?) - trailing whitespace in text nodes

2014-03-20 Thread Dirk Kirsten
Dear Hans-Jürgen,

I am not quite sure it is intended that the CHOP option is applied to
text nodes. At least the wording in the documentation ("while building a
database") does not indicate it, while I think it actually does make
sense. Christian will have to answer whether this works as is intended
behavior.

However, you can set the chop option to false within your XQuery by
declaring it
  declare option db:chop "false";

and this should also affect reading in files from the file system. At
least this works for me.

Cheers,
Dirk

My understanding is that it only affects database documents, and I used file 
input.

Nevertheless, I also tried option -w, but always got the same result.

I guess that you run this command on a database node and the XML

Dear Dirk, thank you.

But this is strange - I ran the query using a file as input - not a database 
document.

I tried two versions:

OS is Windows 7.

I always get this result:

[basex-talk] Bug (?) - trailing whitespace in text nodes

2014-03-20 Thread Hans-Juergen Rennau
Dear BaseX team,

I think I observed a bug concerning trailing whitespace in text nodes.

Please consider this input document:

xxx    abc yyy.


[Note the blanks between xxx and .]

The result of the following "null-transformation"

===

declare function local:edit($n as node())
    as node()? {
    typeswitch($n)
    case document-node() return
    document {for $c in $n/node() return local:edit($c)}
    case element() return
    element {node-name($n)} 
    {for $ac in $n/(@*, node()) return local:edit($ac)}
    default return $n
};
local:edit(.)
===

should be identical, but what I get is this:

xxxabcyyy.

The blanks after "xxx" are gone!


When transforming mixed content like docbook, this can have awkware 
consequences.

Kind regards,
Hans-Jürgen___

Re: [basex-talk] Question about BaseX JAVA API Usage ...

2014-03-20 Thread Dirk Kirsten
Hello Christopher,

thanks for your mail and we are happy to help. I also highly appreciate
that you consulted the wiki first :)

I fixed the links to the BaseX examples. Indeed, we change the project
structure and did not update the corresponding links, so thank you for
the hint.

Indeed, your problem is not that much related to BaseX. To use the BaseX
API from a Java program you have to add the jar file to your project.
Using eclipse you can do so by selecting your project > File >
Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries > Add External JARs... and
selecting the BaseX jar file, which you can download at
https://basex.org/products/download/all-downloads/ (Core package)

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Dirk

[basex-talk] Question about BaseX JAVA API Usage ...

2014-03-20 Thread Christopher Lyons
I've just starting using BaseX (V.7.8.1) and have a very quick question 
that I hope somebody can help me with.   I've reviewed the BaseX docs 
and tried looking for an answer to this on the Wiki but have not been 
successful.


I've installed BaseX (on Win7 Pro/64-bit) and have been using the GUI 
interface (non-server) and it has been working great.  I just started 
exploring the JAVA API and am having a few basic problems. I'm trying to 
use the RunQueries.java example file (currently just need to do some 
local queries from a JAVA app).  Just an FYI, the links from BaseX doc 
site to the GitHub example repository are all broken.  The examples are 
on GitHub but it looks like they were recently moved/updated and the 
links must have changed and haven't been updated on the BaseX site.


I'm an experienced programmer but am just getting up-to-speed with JAVA, 
so my question may be more related to that than a specific BaseX problem 
but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.  I use 
Eclipse and when I create a test class with the RunQueries.java code, 
Eclipse is not able to resolve the BaseX package imports at the start of 
the class.  Namely, the following code:


import org.basex.core.*;
import org.basex.core.cmd.*;
import org.basex.data.*;
import org.basex.io.serial.*;
import org.basex.query.*;
import org.basex.query.iter.*;
import org.basex.query.value.item.*;

Should the general install of BaseX put these packages into their proper 
places?  Or is there something else I have to do to get these packages 
properly installed and able to be resolved?


Appreciate any help.

Chris Lyons

[basex-talk] feature's requests and not publicly released features

2014-03-20 Thread Fabrice Etanchaud
Dear all,

First of all, BaseX is just fantastic !

Could you please tell me if you may release the following features in near 
future ?


1.   User defined indexes

Let's consider you have to index multi lingual documents.
Currently, one have to partition each document in mono-lingual documents, and 
add them in separate collections because there can be only one fulltext index 
per collection, and because all text() nodes will be indexed.

Are others BaseX users interested with user defined indexes (attribute, text, 
and fulltext) ?
Wouldn't user defined indexes dramatically improve performance (during 
requests, and optimization) ?


2.   Break current collection limitation on the maximum number of nodes.


3.   Possibility to store millions of small documents, and do  efficient 
'db:replaces' or 'db:delete'.

Last,
How does BaseX team provide non-open-source features ?

Fabrice Etanchaud
