DBA
This page is part of the Getting Started Section.
Since Version 8.0, the full distributions of BaseX are equipped with a browser-based database administration interface. The browser frontend was completely written in XQuery and RESTXQ. It allows you to create and administer database instances, evaluate queries, view log files and manage users.

Startup
- Download the ZIP Archive or the Windows Installer from the download page
- Start the BaseX HTTP Server
- Open a browser and visit the URL
http://localhost:8984/dba
Start Page
On the welcome page, you will need to authenticate yourself by entering a username and password. The default user is admin
/admin
. By specifying a host and port, you can communicate with a remote BaseX server instance. If you keep the field empty, you will be connected to the local BaseX instance.
Main Page
The main page of the DBA interface contains a list of all databases on the left. On the right, the global and local options are listed, along with some system information. With the "Create…" button, a new database can be created. Existing database can be viewed, optimized, and dropped. |
Most of the DBA features should be self-explanatory, as they reflect the possibilities provided by the Commands and the XQuery Modules.
