==Startup==First of all, please launch a '''Server''' and '''Client''' instance of BaseX: double click on the '''BaseX Server/Client''' icons, or run the <code>basexserver</code> and <code>basexclient</code> scripts. [[Startup#BaseX Server|Follow this link]] for more information (or check out the additional [[Startup Options#BaseX Server|command-line options]]).
: '''factbook''' is {{Announce|With Version 10, the name of the database <br/>: '''factbookdefault admin password has been removed.xml''' is the xml file, which is used to create the database<br/> }}
If everything works you see the following lines:<pre>Database 'factbook' created in 950.83 ms.</pre> ; Where is the The database stored?By default, databases are stored in the <code>BaseXData</code> directoryserver handles concurrent [[Transaction_Management|read and write transactions]], which is located in your home folder.Depending on your [[ConfigurationUser Management|manages user permissions]], the location of your home folder varies. For example, on a Mac it's <code>/Users/John</code>, if your name is John. If you have used the Windows Installer, the database directory will reside in the application directory. ==Execute a query==The and [[Commands#XQUERYLogging|XQUERYlogs user interactions]] command lets you run a query.* For example, this query returns all country nodes in the currently opened database.<code>: > XQUERY //country</code> * You It can also run queries in filesbe started as follows:<code>: > RUN /Users/John/query.xq</code>

With '''BaseX HTTP Server (Stop)''', you can shut down the server process.

* Use the Various [[CommandsCommand-Line_Options#DROPServer|DROPcommand-line options]] command are available to delete simplify batch processing. The [[Start_Scripts|start script]] can be adjusted for individual purposes (e.g. if the xmark database:<code>: > DROP DB xmark</code>default memory limit is too restrictive).
Let's add the xmark.xml document to the factbook database to create a collection. The name of the original factbook database remains.Database clients are started similarly:
* Now add the xmarkAt startup, you need to enter your credentials.xml document: <code>: > ADD xmark.xml</code>
==Delete For further details, have a document==* Deleting a document from a collection is easy:<code>: > DELETE xmarklook at the [[Command-Line_Options#Client|command-line options]] and the [[Start_Scripts|start script]].xml</code>
Make sure that the collection, which contains the '''xmark.xml''' document, is opened.=Introduction=
==Delete a collection==Deleting a collection The BaseX command-line client provides similar features to the [[Command-Line Client|standalone client]]. The major difference is that all commands will be executed by the same as deleting BaseX server instance. As a databaseconsequence, paths/URIs to resources need to be resolvable by the server (file contents will not be transfered to the server).
* Username and password can also be specified as command-line option. To delete evaluate commands without entering the collection factbookconsole mode, type:you can use the <code>-c</code>option on the command line: : <pre> DROP factbookbasexclient -V -Uadmin -P... -c "CREATE DB input <example/code>; XQUERY /"

This step by step tutorial shows article belongs to the [[Getting Started]] Guide. It tells you how to run BaseX in client-server mode from a terminal. You can copy & paste the commands to get it running on your machine. After you finished this tutorial, you will be familiar with the basic administration of BaseX. Visit the [[Commands|commands section]] for a complete list of database commandscommand-line.
==Create a databaseServer==* To create a database you need an XML document, e.g. [http://files.basex.org/xml/factbook.xml factbook.xml].* Save this document to the directory you are working in.* In the client terminal, type in:<code>: > CREATE DB factbook factbook.xml</code>
<pre>
</pre>
==Create a collectionClient=='''What is a collection?'''With BaseX you can group documents into one logical collection. A collection is a database that contains two or more documents. Collections accept any type of XML documents, regardless of their structure.
* First make sure factbook is opened:<code>Run one of the {{Code|basexclient}} or {{Code|basexclient.bat}} scripts.* Execute the following command: > OPEN factbook{{Code|java -cp BaseX.jar org.basex.BaseXClient}}</code>* If you have installed BaseX on ''Windows'', click on the '''BaseX Client''' icon.
