This page is linked from the [[Getting Started]] Section.
The options listed on this page can be requested with influence the way how database [[Commands#GET|GETcommands]] command are executed and changed with the [[Commands#SET|SET]] commandXQuery expressions are evaluated. Three data types Two kinds of options exist: strings, numbers, and booleans, which can be turned ON and OFF. If options are internally changed by the [[GUI]] of BaseX, they will be listed in the [[GUI#Visualizations|Info View]].
=Main * '''[[#Global Options=|Global Options]]''' are valid for all BaseX instances in the same JVM. This is particularly relevant if you are working with the client/server architecture.* '''Local options''' (all remaining ones) are specific to a client or session.
Values of options are either ''strings'', ''numbers'' or ''booleans''. Options are ''static'' and not bound to a single operation (for example, the next command). Various ways exist to access and change options: * The main current value of an option can be requested with the {{Command|GET}} command. Local options can be changed via {{Command|SET}} (all global options are , except for {{Option|DEBUG}}, can only available from be changed at startup time). If an option is of type ''boolean'', and if no value is specified, its current value will be inverted. * The {{Code|.basex}} [[Configuration#Configuration Files|configuration file]] is parsed by every new local BaseX instance. It contains all global options. Local options can be specified at the end of the file after the {{Code|Local Options}} comment: <syntaxhighlight lang="perl"># General OptionsDEBUG = false... # Local OptionsCHOP = false</syntaxhighlight> * Initial values for global options can also be specified via system properties, which can e.g. be passed on with the [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html -D flag] on command line, or using [Standalone Modehttps://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#setProperty(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) System.setProperty()]] and before creating a BaseX instance. The specified keys need to be prefixed with {{Code|org.basex.}}. An example: <syntaxhighlight lang="perl">java -Dorg.basex.CHOP=false -cp basex.jar org.basex.BaseX -c"get chop"CHOP: false</syntaxhighlight> * If using the Mac OS X packaged application then global options can be set within the Info.plist file within the Contents folder of the application package. For example: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><key>JVMOptions</key><array> <string>-Dorg.basex.CHOP=false</string></array></syntaxhighlight> * In a [[Database ServerWeb Application]] instances of BaseX, ithe default can be adjusted in the {{Code|web.exml}} file as follows: <syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><context-param> <param-name>org.basex.chop</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value></context-param></syntaxhighlight> * In XQuery, they cannot local options can be set via option declarations and [[XQuery Extensions#Pragmas|pragmas]]. If options are changed by database clientsoperations in the [[GUI]], the underlying commands will be listed in the [[GUI#Visualizations|Info View]].<br/><br/> =Global Options= Global options are constants. They are stored can only be set in the configuration file or via system properties (see above). One exception is the [[Configuration#Configuration Filesdebug|.basex config fileDEBUG]]option, which is opened can also be changed at runtime by every new users with [[User Management|admin permissions]]. ==General Options== ===DEBUG=== {| width='100%'|-| width='120' | '''Signature'''|{{Code|DEBUG [boolean]}}|-| '''Default'''|{{Code|false}}|-| '''Summary'''|Sends internal debug info to STDERR.
