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 the home directory.
The path can be changed in the following ways:
- BaseX GUI: Go to Menu Options and change the entry
Database Path - BaseX Server:
set dbpath [PATH] - BaseX Standalone:
set dbpath [PATH]
Note: After changing the database path, all afore created databases have to be manually moved to the new location.
Configuration files
There are two configuration files for BaseX. These two configuration files .basex & .basewin are stored in the home directory.
User and log files
The global users are stored in the .basexperm file in the home 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 home directory BaseXData/.logs.
