→Database Directory
==Database Directory==
A database in BaseX consists of several files, which are all bundled located in a folder with directory named by the name of the database name.If the user’s home directory has been chosen as base directory, the database folders directories will be stored planed in a
{{Code|BaseXData}} directory. Otherwise, the directory will be named {{Code|datda}}.
The database path can be changed as follows:
* GUI: Choose ''Options'' → ''Preferences'' and choose a new database path.
* Server/StandaloneGeneral: edit the <code>[[Options#DBPATH|SET DBPATH [path]]]</code>in the {{Code|.basex}} configuration file
'''Note:''' Existing databases will not be automatically moved to the new destination.
