basexserver - XML database system and XPath/XQuery processor (server
mode)
basexsercer [-cdhlnpsSUz] [stop]
basexserver starts the server mode of the native XML database system
basex(1) on default port 1984.
A short description of option can be obtained from
$ basexserver -h
or by browsing
https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Command-Line_Options#HTTP_Server
On first startup a user 'admin' with default password 'admin' exists (make sure
to change this)!
Admin permissions are needed to execute one of the following processes.
- •
- Creating user 'test' with password 'test':
> CREATE USER test test
As global permissions valid options are 'none', 'read', 'write', 'create' and
'admin'.
- •
- Revoking all global permissions from user 'test':
> GRANT none TO test
Valid local permissions are 'none', 'read' and 'write'.
- •
- Granting write permission on database 'factbook' to user
'test':
> GRANT write ON factbook TO test
Note: Local permissions overwrite global permissions. As a consequence, the
'test' user will only be allowed to access (i.e., read and write) the
'factbook' database. If no local permissions are set, the global rights are
inherited.
- •
- Showing global permissions:
> SHOW USERS
- •
- Showing local permissions on database 'factbook':
> SHOW USERS ON factbook
- •
- Dropping of user 'test':
> DROP USER test

Group (DBIS) at the University of Konstanz in 2005 and soon turned into a
feature-rich open source XML database and XPath/XQuery processor.
