Hi Giuseppe, I think it is because you are using xquery and your backfile is huge with respect to your java memory settings. Db:create function is an updating function, so all your inserted data has to go to the pending update list (see [1] for explanation) before database creation, causing out of memory. If you want to automate database creation/update you could have a look at the xml command files, a way to create a batch of BaseX commands ([2]). In my use cases, I found it easier to write XQuery queries, which generate XML Command files, to get rid of memory concerns.
Hoping it helps, Best regards, [1] : http://docs.basex.org/wiki/XQuery_Update#Pending_Update_List [2] : http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Commands -----Message d'origine----- De : [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Giuseppe Celano Envoyé : lundi 23 avril 2018 15:03 À : BaseX Objet : [basex-talk] database creation baseX.8.6.7 Hi All, I can create a database via the GUI, but if I use db:create [1] I get the message "out of main memory": why? Thanks! db:create("myDB", "sourceDirectory", "destinationDirectory", map{"ftindex": true(), "language": false()} ) Best, Giuseppe
