Create: Create

In RBaseX: 'BaseX' Client

Create

Description

Creates a new database with the specified name and input (may be empty).

Usage

Create(session, name, input)

Arguments

session	BasexClient instance-ID
name	Database name
input	Additional input, may be empty

Details

The input can be a UTF-8 encoded XML document, a binary resource, or any other data (such as JSON or CSV) that can be successfully converted to a resource by the server. 'Check' is a convenience command that combines OPEN and CREATE DB: If a database with the name input exists, and if there is no existing file or directory with the same name that has a newer timestamp, the database is opened. Otherwise, a new database is created; if the specified input points to an existing resource, it is stored as initial content. This method returns self invisibly, thus making it possible to chain together multiple method calls.

Value

A list with two items

• info Aditional info

• success A boolean, indicating if the command was completed successfull
