BaseX offers a It introduces you to the standalone mode in which all [[Commands|database commands]] can be executed from the command -line or console.The article on the [[Database Server]] provides numerous examples for running commands in the standalone modeof BaseX.(Note that the standalone mode does ''not'' interact with the client/server architecture.)
First of all, launch a '''standalone''' version of BaseX: double click on the '''BaseX''' icon 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|the standalone mode's start script]] or [[Command-Line_Options#Standalone|the standalone mode's The command-line options]].client can be started as follows:
=Create a Database=* Run one of the {{Code|basex}} or {{Code|basex.bat}} scripts.* If you have installed BaseX on ''Windows'', click on the '''BaseX Standalone''' icon.
Make sure that the database, which contains the addressed document, is currently opened. ==Backup and Restore==

This page is part of the [[Getting Started]] Section.
=Startup=
Various [[Command-Line_Options#Standalone|command-line options]] are available to simplify batch processing. The [[Start_Scripts|start script]] can be adjusted for individual purposes (e.g. if the default memory limit is too restrictive). Please note that the standalone client must not be used if you perform parallel (concurrent) read and write operations on your databases. See [[Startup#Concurrent Operations|Concurrent Operations]] for more details. =Operations= ==Create a Database== * To create a database you need an XML document, e.g. [httphttps://files.basex.org/xml/factbook.xml factbook.xml].
* Save this document to your working directory.
* Type in the following command to create and open the database:
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.
==Execute a Query==
The [[Commands#XQUERY|XQUERY]] command lets you run a query.

==Database Commands==
* The following command lists all databases than can be opened by the currently logged in user:

==Multiple Resources==
One database can contain not only a single, but millions of documents. All documents can have a different structure.
<code>
> [[Commands#CREATE DB|CREATE DB]] store</code><br/><code>> [[Commands#ADD|ADD]] factbook.xml</code><br/><code>
> [[Commands#ADD|ADD]] http://files.basex.org/xml/xmark.xml
</code>
* Deleting a document from a database is easy, but make sure that the database, which contains the addressed document, is currently opened:
<code>
> [[Commands#DELETE|DELETE]] factbook.xml
</code>
* To backup your database, type:
The backup file is stored in the database directory.
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.
