如何从 FLOWR xquery 中指定 BaseX 数据库？

Question

How can I get all the titles with a FLOWR query against a specified database?

Specifying a document works:

thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ basex titles.xq 
[warning] /usr/bin/basex: Unable to locate /usr/share/java/jing.jar in /usr/share/java
<title>Creepy Crawlies</title>
<title>Lover Birds</title>
<title>MSXML3: A Comprehensive Guide</title>
<title>Maeve Ascendant</title>
<title>Microsoft .NET: The Programming Bible</title>
<title>Midnight Rain</title>
<title>Oberon's Legacy</title>
<title>Paradox Lost</title>
<title>Splish Splash</title>
<title>The Sundered Grail</title>
<title>Visual Studio 7: A Comprehensive Guide</title>
<title>XML Developer's Guide</title>thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ cat titles.xq 
for $x in doc("books.xml")/catalog/book
order by $x/title
return $x/title 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 

but that's against a stand-alone xml document and not from within the BaseX console itself. How can I use the name for the database directly in the FLOWR for BaseX to reference?

or with the GUI:

using Microsoft data, or from w3schools also.

Answer 1

For the basex command line script you seem to use there is the -i option you can use to set a named database as the context or to use an input file for that so basex -i mydb xquery.xq runs your xquery.xq with the database called mydb as the context of the query.

Answer 2

From Martin's answer, this is the concrete xquery and command:

thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ basex -i w3school_data titles.xq
<title>Creepy Crawlies</title>
<title>Lover Birds</title>
<title>MSXML3: A Comprehensive Guide</title>
<title>Maeve Ascendant</title>
<title>Microsoft .NET: The Programming Bible</title>
<title>Midnight Rain</title>
<title>Oberon's Legacy</title>
<title>Paradox Lost</title>
<title>Splish Splash</title>
<title>The Sundered Grail</title>
<title>Visual Studio 7: A Comprehensive Guide</title>
<title>XML Developer's Guide</title>thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ cat titles.xq 
for $x in /catalog/book
order by $x/title
return $x/title 
thufir@dur:~/basex/microsoft$ 

I took a stab at the xquery and it worked. thanks Martin.
