Let's suppose you've got a map like: (and that by just typing this into the email I haven't left in any really horrible typos!) let $drugInfo as map(xs:string,element()) := map:merge( for $element in collection('newDrugInfo')/descendant::infoElement let $name as xs:string := (: whatever you do

Hi Graydon, Thanks for the suggestion. Could you provide sample code to help with this? If needed I can share the relevant BaseX snippet. Best, Ron > On Sep 2, 2018, at 9:16 PM, Graydon Saunders wrote: > > Maps that reference nodes are pointers, rather than copies. It sounds like > you

Maps that reference nodes are pointers, rather than copies. It sounds like you could map every drug name to every "interesting" XML node that contains it using grouping during map creation and then just iterate on the keys to process the nodes. On Sun, Sep 2, 2018 at 4:52 PM Ron Katriel wrote:

Hi Christian, As promised here is a summary of my experimentation. I replaced the expensive join with a map lookup and the program finished in 4 minutes vs. 1 hour using a naive loop over the two databases (the original 6 hours reported were due to overly aggressive virus scanning software, which

Hi Christian, Thanks for the advise. The BaseX engine is phenomenal so I realized quickly that the problem was performing a naive cross product. Since this query is run only once a month (to serialize XML to CSV) and applied to new data (DB) each time, a BaseX map will likely be the most

Hi Gerrit, Thanks for the suggestions. I would like to retain the original diacritics (for output purposes) but only match them when warranted (e.g., match acétazolamide to acétazolamide, but not acétazolamide to acetazolamide). I am looking for a simple solution that does not involve modifying

Hi Ron, You can add an extra element (or attribute) to the content when importing or modifying it. (Or another document in another database if you like – you can create and later find such an index document by giving it the same db:path as the original document.) In this extra database,
