Hi,
I created a database from gzipped XML files, then deleted some elements (using "delete node"). Now I want to export the files again as gzipped XML files. But when I use the "Database > Export..." function of the BaseX GUI the files are exported unzipped. Question: is it possible to export the files as gzipped XML files?
Thx
- Mike

Hi Mike,
thanks for your mail. You are talking about an interesting issue: some time ago, we already thought about recreating archives that had been unpacked in the import step. This would e.g. also be helpful when processing Office documents.
Currently, you’ll have to resort to XQuery to create archives from database files. The Archive Module [1] gives you some examples.
Hope this helps,
Christian
