This page is linked from the [[Getting Started]] Section.
The options listed on this page influence the way how database [[Commands|commands]] are executed and XQuery expressions are evaluated. Options are divided into [[#Global Options|'''global options''']], which are valid for all BaseX instances, and '''local options''', which are specific to a client or session. Values Two kinds of options are either ''strings'', ''numbers'' or ''booleans''.exist:
The {{Code|.basex}} * '''[[Configuration#Configuration FilesGlobal Options|configuration fileGlobal Options]] ''' are valid for all BaseX instances in the same JVM. This is parsed by every new local BaseX instanceparticularly relevant if you are working with the client/server architecture. It contains * '''Local options''' (all global options and, optionally, local options at the end of the fileremaining 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 current value of an option can be requested with the [[Commands#GET{{Command|GET]] and }} command. Local options can be changed with the [[Commands#via {{Command|SET}} (all global options, except for {{Option|SET]] command. All values are ''static'': they stay valid until they are DEBUG}}, can only be changed once again by another operationat startup time). If an option is of type ''boolean'', and if no value is specified, its existing current value will be inverted.
* Initial values for options can also be specified via system properties, which can eThe {{Code|.g. be passed on with the basex}} [[http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.htmlConfiguration#options -D flagConfiguration Files|configuration file] on command line, or using [http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/System.html#setProperty(java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String) System.setProperty()] before creating a is parsed by every new local BaseX instance. The It contains all global options. Local options can be specified keys needs to be prefixed with at the end of the file after the {{Code|org.basex.Local Options}}. An examplecomment:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brushperl"># 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:bash//docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/java.html -D flag] on command line, or using [https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/System.html#setProperty(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) System.setProperty()] 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
</presyntaxhighlight>
* Options If using the Mac OS X packaged application then global options can also be set in within the prolog of an XQuery expressionInfo. In plist file within the option declaration, options need to be bound to Contents folder of the [[Database Module]] namespaceapplication package. All values will be reset after the evaluation of a queryFor example:
<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xqueryxml">declare option db:chop 'false';<key>JVMOptions</key><array> <string>-Dorg.basex..CHOP=false</string></array></presyntaxhighlight* In a [[Web Application]], the default can be adjusted in the {{Code|web.xml}} file as follows:
* Options can also be applied locally by using pragmas:<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"><context-param> <param-name>org.basex.chop</param-name> <param-value>false</param-value></context-param></syntaxhighlight>
<pre class="brush:xquery">(* In XQuery, local options can be set via option declarations and [[XQuery Extensions# db:chop false #) { parse-xml('<xml> hi </xml>') }</pre>Pragmas|pragmas]].
If options are implicitly changed by operations in the [[GUI]], the underlying commands will be listed in the [[GUI#Visualizations|Info View]].<br/><br/>
=Global Options=
Global options are constants. They can only be set in the configuration file or via system properties (see above). One exception is the [[#debug|DEBUG]] option, which can also be changed at runtime by users with [[User Management|admin permissions]].

This prevents update operations from blocking all other requests. For example, the DBA can further be used for managing to see which jobs are running, even if the queue is full.* If fair locking is enabled, read and write transactions will be treated equally (first in, first out). This avoids starvation of update operations, and it should be used if the prompt evaluation of update operations is critical.

A higher number of parallel operations may increase disk activity and thus slow down queries. In some cases, a single transaction may even give you better results than any parallel activity.

This way, leading and trailing whitespaces from text nodes will be chopped and all empty text nodes will be discarded.
* The flag should be turned off if a document contains [[Full-Text#Mixed Content|mixed content]].
* The flag can also be turned off on [[Command-Line Options#BaseX Standalone|command line]] via <code>-w</code>.
* If the <code>xml:space="preserve"</code> attribute is attached to an element, chopping will be turned off for all descendant text nodes.  In the following example document, the whitespaces in the text nodes of the {{Code|text}} element will not be chopped:<pre classsyntaxhighlight lang="brush:xml">

| '''Summary'''
|Uses the internal XML parser instead of the standard Java XML parser. The Here are some reasons for using the internal parser is :* Performance: Documents (in particular small ones) will be parsed faster, more fault tolerant and supports common * Fault tolerance: invalid characters will automatically be replaced with the Unicode replacement character <code>FFFD</code> (&#xFFFD;)* Entities: around 250 HTML entities out-of-will be detected and decodedYou will be able to correctly parse most XML documents with the-boxinternal parser. Java’s Xerces parser is still used as default, but however, because it does not support supports all features needed for parsing DTDsof the XML standard and advanced DTD features, such as recursive entity expansion.
|}
|-
| '''Summary'''
|Parses referenced DTDs and resolves XML entities. By default, this option is switched to {{Code|false}}, as many DTDs are located externally, which may completely block the process of creating new databases. The [[#CATFILE{{Option|CATFILE]] }} option can be changed to locally resolve DTDs.
|}
|-
| '''Summary'''
|Resolves XInclude inclusion tags and merges referenced XML documents. By default, this option is switched to {{Code|true}}. This option is only available if the standard Java XML Parser is used (see [[#INTPARSE{{Option|INTPARSE]]}}).

|If turned on, incremental indexing will be applied to new databasesenabled:* With each update, the text and attributes indexes will be refreshed as well.* The advantage is that the value index structures will always be up-to-date.* However, updates will usually take longer (the article on [[Index#Updates|Index Structures]] provides more details).* The current value of this option will be assigned once to a new databasedatabases. It can be reassigned changed for existing databases by running [[Commands#{{Command|OPTIMIZE}} with the {{Code|OPTIMIZE ALL]] }} keyword or [[Database_Module#db:optimize|db:optimize($db, true())]].* After each update, the value indexes will be refreshed as well. Incremental updates are currently not available for the full-text index and database statistics.* Find more details in the article on [[Index#Updates|Index Structures]].
|}
* As a result, the index structures will always be up-to-date.
* However, updates can take much longer, so this option should only be activated for medium-sized databases.
* The value of this option will be assigned once to a new database. It can be reassigned by running [[Commands#OPTIMIZE{{Command|OPTIMIZE]] }} or [[Database_Module#db:optimize|db:optimize]].
