Database files

A database in BaseX consists of several files, which are all bundled in a folder with the database name.
All of these files are stored in a BaseXData directory in your home directory. The path can be changed in the GUI via the Options/Preferences menu.

Configuration files

There are two configuration files for BaseX. These two configuration files .basex & .basewin are stored in the same directory. This path cannot be changed by the user.

User and log files

The global users are stored in the .basexperm file in the same directory as the configuration files. Local users and permissions are stored in the meta data of the database, so they don't need an extra file.
All log files are stored in text format in the directory BaseXData/.logs.
