Hi France, that’s just a wild guess, but maybe the index:facets() might be of help here? It works directly on the index information, so the queries should be sufficiently fast if the results of index:facets() fulfill your needs.
http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Index_Module#index:facets The idea of db:attribute-values() is an idea worth discussing as well.
