BaseX offers a standalone console mode from which all database commands can be executed. The Server Tutorial contains a good introduction on how to run commands in the console mode.
Startup
Please have a look at the Startup Overview, and launch a standalone instance of BaseX.
Working with the BaseX Console
After the BaseX Console has been started, the help
command lists all available
BaseX commands. Several commands can be separated by semicolons.
To evaluate commands without entering the console mode, you can use the
-c
option on the command line:
basex -Vc "create db input input.xml; xquery /" Database 'input' created in 53.64 ms. <html> <!-- Header --> <head id="0"> <title>XML</title> </head> <!-- Body --> <body id="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#0000CC"> <h1>Databases & XML</h1> <div align="right"> <b>Assignments</b> <ul> <li>Exercise 1</li> <li>Exercise 2</li> </ul> </div> </body> <?pi bogus?> </html> Query: / Compiling: Result: root() Parsing: 0.19 ms Compiling: 9.27 ms Evaluating: 0.33 ms Printing: 3.08 ms Total Time: 12.88 ms Results: 1 Item Updated: 0 Items Printed: 375 Bytes Memory: 5834 KB Query executed in 13.25 ms.
All available command-line options can be found here.
