Since {{Version|8.0}}, the The full distributions of BaseX are equipped with a simple powerful browser-based database administration interface, the '''DBA'''. It allows you to create and administrate databases, evaluate queries in realtime, view log files, manage users, etc. The browser frontend was server-side code is completely written in [[XQuery]] and [[RESTXQ]]. It allows you to create and administer database instances, evaluate queries, view log files and manage users.
* We tried to make the DBA features as self-explanatory as possible. All functionalities are also available via [[Commands]], [[Module Library|XQuery Modules]] or the Java [[GUI]].
As If you put DBA online along with your web page, please ensure at the DBA very least that:* you have changed the password of your BaseX {{Code|admin}} user, and* the BaseX process has just not been releasedstarted with admin privileges. {{Mark|Updated with Version 8.6:}} * The DBA will now always be accessible, we are looking forward to your feature requestseven if the job queue is full.* Table results have been paginated.* Support for remote connections was removed. Patches The new RESTXQ code allows for better optimizations and extensions are welcome!reduces system-wide locks.<br/><br/>

This page is part of the [[Getting Started]] Section.
These were our design goals:
* The code base is supposed to help and motivate you developing your own RESTXQ web applications.
* The whole XQuery DBA code consumes only around 100 KB, and it limits to basic . It uses simple backward-compatible Javascript code that should run with nearly every browser. As a result, the The interface is functional, but not very flashy limited in terms of flashiness and interactiveinteractivity.* We tried to make the DBA features as self-explanatory as possible. All functionalities are also available via [[Commands]], [[Module Library|XQuery Modules]] or the Java [[GUI]].
* The {{Code|dba}} sub-directory can simply be copied and moved to any other place. All URL paths point to the same directory; it should be straightforward to adjust the RESTXQ path.
* Download the '''ZIP Archive''' or the '''Windows Installer''' from the [http://basex.org/download download page]
* Open a browser and visit the URL {{Code|http://localhost:8984/dba}}

In the editor panel, you can execute XQuery expressions. If evaluation takes too long, or if it consumes too much memory, it will be interrupted. You need to choose if your query is updating. Inside the editor area, you can press Ctrl-Enter to execute the query.
You can press Shift-Ctrl-Enter to run your XQuery expression as updating query (or non-updating, if "Updating" is choosen in the dropdown menu). The realtime mode was removed.
