|Defines a [[Parsers|parser]] for importing new files to the database. Available parsers are {{Code|XML}}, {{Code|JSON}}, {{Code|CSV}}, {{Code|TEXT}}, {{Code|HTML}}, and {{Code|HTMLRAW}}. HTML input will be parsed as normal XML files documents if [[Parsers#HTML_Parser|Tagsoup]] is not found in the classpath.

| '''Summary'''
|This option affects the [[Indexes#Performance|construction]] of new value indexes. It controls the number of index build operations that are performed before writing partial index data to disk:
* By default, if the value is set to {{Code|0}}, some heuristics are applied, based on the current memory consumption. Usually, this works fine.
* If explicit garbage collection is disabled when running Java (e.g. via the JVM option {{Code|-XX:+DisableExplicitGC}}), you may need to choose a custom split size.
* You can e. g. start with {{Code|1000000}} (one million) index operations and adjust this value in the next steps.
* The larger the assigned value is, the less splits will take place, and the more main memory will be required.
* By default, if the value is set to {{Code|0}}, some heuristics are applied, based on the current memory consumption. Usually, this works fine. If explicit garbage collection is disabled when running Java (e.g. via the JVM option {{Code|-XX:+DisableExplicitGC}}), you may need to choose a custom split size.

|Prints more information on internal query rewritings, optimizations, and performance. By default, this info is shown in the [[GUI#Visualizations|Info View]] in the GUI. It can also be activated on [[Command-Line Options#BaseX Standalone|command line]] via <code>-V</code>.

| '''Summary'''
|Allows queries to both contain updating and non-updating expressions. All updating constraints will be turned off, and nodes to be returned will be copied before they are modified by an updating expression. – By default, in compliance with the XQuery Update Facility, this option is set to {{Code|false}}, because the XQuery Update Facility does not allow an updating query to . See [[XQuery Update#Returning Results|return resultsReturning Results]]for more details.

| '''Summary'''
|Specifies how many stack frames of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tail_call tail-calls] are allowed on the stack at any time. When this limit is reached, tail-call optimization takes place and some call frames are eliminated. The feature can be turned off by setting the value to {{Code|-1}}.

| '''Summary'''
|By default, URIs specified in the [[Databases#XML Documents|fn:doc]] and [[Databases#XML Documents|fn:collection]] functions will also be resolved against existing databases. If {{Function|Database|db:open}} is consistently used to access database documents, it is recommendable to disable this option:
* Access to local and external resources will be faster, as the database lookup will be skipped.
* No locks will be created by the two functions (see [[Transaction Management#Limitations|limitations of database locking]] for more details).
