Dear BaseX people
I'd like to run several commands in a single post. Example:
OPEN TEST
CREATE INDEX ATTRIBUTE
CREATE INDEX TEXT
CREATE INDEX FULLTEXT
OPTIMIZE ALL
CLOSEMy request is:
<command>
<text>
the commands above
</text>
</command>But it seems this cannot be done. I get the error:
Stopped at ., 1/10:
Syntax: OPEN [name] ([path])
Open database. Opens the database [name], filtered by [path].
Is it possible, and if so, what should I change?

Hi Arjan,
currently, via REST, only one command at a time can be processed. I have come across an old GitHub issue that was related to your request, and I've just reopened it [1].
Hope this helps,
Christian

I've added another idea to the reopened GitHub issue [1]: we could extend the "run" operation [2] to also support command scripts.

The latest snapshot now provides this feature [3]: the "run" operation can be used to specify command scripts, which can (by nature) contain multiple commands. The new feature will also be available in BaseX 7.9 (to be released soon).
Hope this helps,
