==Create Database== Select ''Database'' → ''New'' and browse to an XML document of your choice. As an example, you can start with the {{Code|etc/factbook.xml}} document, which contains statistical information on the worlds' countries. It is included in our official releases and can also be [http://files.basex.org/xml/factbook.xml downloaded] (1.3 MB). If you type nothing in the input field, an empty database will be created.
