Hi Bram,

We are spending quite some time into our documentation, so I hope that
the existing articles will give you some initial help (see e.g.
[1,2]).

As you will see in the examples ("QueryExample.java" and others),
there is no need to insert queries in a database. Instead, you can
directly send your query strings to the BaseX server and retrieve the
results.
Cheers,
