Re: [basex-talk] Issue with Full Text Retrieval

Hi Ron, With mixed-content, it can be beneficial if element boundaries are ignored. An example: Hello world! contains text 'hello' If you set the CHOP option to false before creating a database, whitespaces will be included in your database. As Fabrice has pointed out, however, it is

Re: [basex-talk] Is there any documentation on the narrow limits of XQuery index optimization in BaseX?

Hi! Interesting ideas. I don't like the pragma idea that much because there is already sth. like that with xquery:eval. The thing I miss most is a function like xquery:eval that accepts a function as an argument but also takes a context and does that runtime optimization. Or a way to convert

Re: [basex-talk] Server Variables, cached vars, etc

Hi Erik, I think that Xavier-Laurent, Marco, Fabrice and Kendall have already given excellent feedback. In our own projects, we store all global data in databases, or in local configuration files. One advantage is that this data requires no initialization and will automatically be available

Re: [basex-talk] Is there any documentation on the narrow limits of XQuery index optimization in BaseX?

Hi Omar, Our current XQuery optimizer opens the addressed database in order to find out if it has the required index structures, and if these are up-to-date. Moreover, the cheapest index lookup will be selected if there are several index candidates. For example, in the following query, it will be

[basex-talk] retrieving the name of the archive?

Hello -- BaseX will happily consume zip archives; this is just splendid for loading up a bunch of docx files. Now I find myself wanting the name of the docx file -- the original name of the archive -- and I don't know how to retrieve that. (or if it can be!) But I think it must be there

Hello Many thanks, Dirk, Fabrice and Graydon. I was going to look up ways of enabling the server to run as fast as possible anyway later on, so it is always good to know how is BaseX “thinking”. I can see what you mean Graydon. This is a simple nested `for` to denormalise some of the

Re: [basex-talk] Fwd: Re: using apply-function within an updating function

Hi Rob, the official XQuery functions are limited to non-updating function arguments. Enabling MIXUPDATES is the only way out, because you would otherwise be able to write code that is both updating and non-updating: for $f in (db:output#1, count#1) return apply($f, [1]) Hope this helps,

Sorry for the fumble-fingers; let me try that again. Have you tried creating literal elements? Computed elements have overhead; it's presumptively akin to why you don't want to create untyped variables in XSLT 2.0 and 3.0 (an untyped variable might be anything and needs a whole document node to

Have you tried creating literal elements? Computed elements have overhead; it's presumptively akin to why you don't want to create untyped variables in XSLT 2.0 and 3.0 (an untyped variable might be anything and needs a whole document node to exist in, and this is expensive). In this case, I'd

Ok, so it looks like: 1. find where BaseX is really getting its config files ($HOME in my case); http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Configuration#Configuration_Files says "Q{org.basex.util.Prop}USERHOME()" which is exceedingly helpful! 2. add, to .basex (NOT .basexgui) AFTER # Local Options

I don’t know if this helps. It could be because of openjdk vs oracle. In FileSystems.java in the oracle JDK getDefault loads: sun.nio.fs.DefaultFileSystemProvider.create() I imagine that openjdk wouldn’t use that, perhaps. So, maybe using the oracle JDK would work. Kendall On 9/18/17, 4:06
