Hi Tim, > Using the store module, is it possible to read and merge multiple custom > stores into main memory
We could add an argument (or options) to file:read to allow entries to be added to an existing main-memory store. > set a particular store as context for a query? The recommended approach is to invoke store:read before any other operation in the query. Please note, however, that the store will be globally available. If a second query runs on the same server and opens another store, it will change the behavior of the first query. For such use cases, it’s better to use databases. > Or, do I need to serialize the stores, e.g., as JSON and then create > databases for them? You could have a look at the new db:get-value and db:put-value functions [1]: These functions have particularly been designed to organize XQuery items in databases, making casts to JSON or XML obsolete. Hope this helps, Christian [1] https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Database_Module#db:get-value
