Sorry, no. Currently, what you can do is.. * set DBPATH via system properties before starting BaseX [1], * create symbolic links in your database directory, or * copy your databases in the db directory.. But I'm not sure if any of these options meets your requirements? Christian [1] http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Options
