Text replacement - "ub-director" to "ubdirector"
For some use cases, the chosen database design may bring along certain limitations:
* '''Performance Limits''': most file system are not capable of handling thousands or millions of binary resources in a single directory in an efficient way. The same problem happens if you have a large number of XML documents that need to imported in or exported from a BaseX database. The general solution to avoid this bottleneck is to distribute the relevant binaries in additional sub-directoriessubdirectories.
* '''Keys''': if you want to use arbitrary keys for XML and binary resources, which are not supported by the underlying file system, you may either add an XML document in your database that contains all key/path mappings.
