BaseX

Does XQuery Update support auto increment attributes, just like auto increment fields in SQL ? I'm using BaseX as my database. Arjan Given an answer from Christian Grün on the BaseX mailing list , this is doable when the node one is adding is defined in the XQuery Update statement, and hence can be enhanced using an {enclosed expression} before inserting it: You might specify the attribute counter within your XML file/database and increment it every time when you insert an element. A simple example: input.xml: <root count="0"/> insert.xq: let $root := doc('input.xml')/root let $count := $root/

I am storing two XML documents, namely hospital and office, in BaseX. The following is the office xml: <Staff> <Employee Name="Brian"> <Personal> <SSN> 666-66-6666 </SSN> </Personal> <StaffInfo> <Position> Doctor </Position> <AccountableTo> David </AccountableTo> </StaffInfo> </Employee> <Employee Name="David"> <Personal> <SSN> 555-55-5555 </SSN> </Personal> <StaffInfo> <Position> Doctor </Position> <AccountableTo /> </StaffInfo> </Employee> </Staff> In this XML I want to add one or more employees. How can I add elements using BaseX? XQuery has an update facility, an official W3C

How can I get all the titles with a FLOWR query against a specified database?

I'm trying to find all countries which are reachable by land by traversing from one country to another via land borders using the mondial.sql database. It must be done recursively and I found some functions online which I thought would be useful for joining sequences and to be able to exclude countries which have already been found. The problem is I end up in a loop even though the countries that are to be excluded seems to be handled properly. So my thinking is that I might have to define a base case in some way to make the recursion stop once all possible countries have been found. How to
