|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.

|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.
