I sometimes find myself, in code, wanting to create a database, or more specifically test if a database exists and create it if does not. The database module appears not have functions to create (or delete databases). Is this a deliberate design decision?
I can do this via the command interface, although test and create is a bit messy; I can do it via the REST interface, and I think via the WebDAV interface, but not, it seems, via XQuery directly. Adding additional functions to the database module would be a solution, or maybe a util:command() that would execute any BaseX command? /Andy
