Making connections to a database

Hello, I'm developing an application server with node.js. When the server starts, it creates a single connection to a BaseX database, to allow subsequent user queries to the database. I notice that when I connect separately to the BaseX database with the BaseXClient command line tool, the application server connection dies with a 'broken pipe' error. Am I doing this correctly, or should the application server connect then immediately disconnect from BaseX to serve each individual user query (in the same way that PHP works with MySQL)? Thanks Thomas

Hi Thomas,

In general, it should be possible to send multiple commands and queries via an open connection. As I don’t know what exactly your are doing, feel free to provide me with a minimized example. Best, Christian
