Hi Anupam, you're probably locking for LIST and DELETE, also have a look at the [Commands documentation] in our wiki. If there are still open questions, don't hesitate to ask again. Kind regards from Lake Constance, Germany, Jens Erat [Commands documentation]: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands

Hello, I'm new to BaseX and XQuery, I wonder if someone can help with a simple question. I have added several documents to a BaseX database. Now I want to list and delete them. I didn't see commands to do that in the BaseX client 7.2.1. Any pointer or help will help me in understanding. Thanks, Anupam

Thanks Jens for the quick response, I really appreciate it. There are a few issues that trouble a newbie like me .... 1. What are resources? How are they counted?

Input Path Type Content-Type Size ------------------------------------ 0 Resources. NOTE : 'LIST' command said 1 resource, while 'LIST IVS' said 0 resource. 2. In the documentation, it seems that documents and resources are synonymous.

LIST ([path]) List databases or documents in database. These are minor things. I'm off to a good start. I just wanted to mention them, in case someone else comes looking. Thanks for your help!

Hi Anupam, resources are defined on the [Databases page] of the manual.

> Resources can either be XML documents or raw files (binaries).
So your assumption is totally right. Regards, Jens [Databases page]: http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Databases

Hi Anupam, as Jens indicated, you will find many hints on the notion of 'databases' and 'resources' in our documentation.
Quoted text · Jens Erat · 2 lines
>> LIST ([path]) >> List databases or documents in database.
True, the wording is not up-to-date anymore (some time ago, we only stored "documents", and no binaries, in the database). I have updated this and some other text snippets in the latest snapshot [1]. Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Releases
