First thing I'd do is try to run the code on different hardware. Second thing I'd do is try to run the code where BaseX is installed against the OpenJDK, rather than Oracle. Third thing -- assuming those first two give you the same results, and it's not an issue with your hardware or the somewhat

r that you have 7 values for "file" to get 21 results, but I don't think we know that. In your "used a predicate" example, you're constraining the path expression used to construct the binding sequence for the for clause, and the result is a sequence with only three

dividual queries and have the main query walk through them with xquery:eval(), but there might be a better way. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks! Graydon

[basex-talk] differencing the string value of documents

poking at this for a while and am getting that "reinventing the wheel by gnawing on anvils" feeling. Does a facility to do this exist in BaseX? I've had a look at the documentation and I observe some mention of diff.xqm but that appears to be a node-based diff. thanks! Graydon
