Hello, I've been using BaseX to query an XML file in version 7.3.1 and it worked well. However, because of this problem https://www.mail-archive.com/basex-talk at mailman.uni-konstanz.de/msg10241.html and I was suggested to use version 8.6.7 then I changed to use this version in a Java Web application which queries the old BaseX files from version 7.3.1. However, I didn't know that this version changes created a very surprise result between version 7.3.1 and 8.6.7 (i.e: data is missing in version 8.6.7 from output result !!!). Could someone tell me why it happens and how to use BaseX version 8.6.7 on BaseX database from version 7.3.1. Here is the difference between 2 outputs on same old BaseX database version 7.3.1 (left: 8.6.7, right: 7.3.1) with same XQuery: https://www.diffchecker.com/iCgLhRUx The XQuery is: declare namespace gml = "http://www.opengis.net/gml/3.2"; declare function local:get-children() { let $x := collection('userdb')//gml:identifier/text() return if (exists($x)) then for $i in $x return $i else <empty/> }; let $x := distinct-values(local:get-children()) for $i in $x return $i Thanks,

Yes, I'm sure I tested with old database from version 7.3.1 for both versions (7.3.1 and 8.6.7). Please see the exported XML from this database here: https://pastebin.com/ZjkFrE7B with this XQuery: db:export("userdb", "./userdb", map { 'method': 'xml' }) At least I can see that query in version 7.3.1 doesn't return "new line character \n" as in 8.6.7 but an empty space " ".

Thanks for your detail answer. What I gave to you is an exported output of BaseX database version 7.3.1 (old database) via Java application with BaseX version 8.6.7. I tried to export with BaseX version 7.3.1 with same db:export() XQuery, but it returns error db:export("userdb", "/home/mascalan/", map { 'method': 'xml' }) Error when querying BaseX database 'Failed at querying the database, detail: Stopped at line 1, column 45: [XPST0003] Invalid key, simple expression expected. Check collection name and version are valid first.'. I think if I could export to you the XML of old database by BaseX version 7.3.1, you could see the http://localhost:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/_Temporal_template in the XML file which BaseX version 8.6.7 couldn't find to export (?)

One of the results is the string http://localhost:8080/def/crs/OGC/0/_Temporal_template. However, the string does simply not appear in your input XML. So, where does the difference come from? Maybe it would be easier to simply forget about the old version and instead you could describe what results you are missing from the 8.6.7 vcersion? (you said data is missing)? I can hardly imagine that something is really missing in this case. However, what certainly has improved (and thus: changed) with BaseX 8 (I think) is the serialization. It uses the adaptive serialization by default, which uses newlines as separators when serialiazing. However, you can switch to any other serialization method quite easily and use the old default xml by issueing "declare option output:method "xml"; in the query prolog.
