BaseX offers a standalone console mode from in which all [[Commands|database commands]] can be executedfrom the command line or console.The article on the [[Database Server]] provides numerous examples for running commands in the console standalone mode.(note Note that the GUI standalone mode does ''not'' interact with the client/server architecture.).

First of all, please launch a '''standalone''' version of BaseX: double click on the '''BaseX''' icon, (Windows only) or run the <code>basex</code> script. Click on the following links to find more information on [[Startup#Standalone_Mode|starting the standalone mode]], [[Start_Scripts#Standalone|Follow this linkthe standalone mode's start script]] for more information (or check out the additional [[Command-Line OptionsLine_Options#Standalone|the standalone mode's command-line options]]).

By default, databases are stored in the <code>BaseXDatabasex/data</code> directory, which is located in your home folder.Depending on your [[Configuration]], the location of your home folder varies. For example, on a Mac it's <code>/Users/John</code>, if your name is John. If you are working with the ZIP or EXE distribution, the directory will be named <code>data</code> and reside in the application directory.

* For example, this the following query returns all country nodes in the currently opened factbook database.

> [[Commands#CREATE DB|CREATE DB]] store</code><br/><code>> [[Commands#ADD|ADD]] factbook.xml</code><br/><code>

* Deleting a document from a database is easy, but make sure that the database, which contains the addressed document, is currently opened:

The It contains the name of the database and a timestamp: <code>[db-name]-[timestamp].zip</code>.If a database is to be restored, and if several backups exist, the backup with the newest timestamp is taken. [[Category:Beginner]]
