From SO (and the fine manual), the solution is to use: basex -i
w3school_data titles.xq
Very interesting. I'm sure this can be piped or simply written to a
file, but is there a particularly "basex" method? Not to just return a
result but write that result back to basex.

how do I specify a database for a .xq file to use?
a simple FLOWR:

thufir@dur:~/basex/w3$ basex titles.xq

order by $x/title
return $x/title

(from w3schools)
