Is Berkeley XMLDB container portable?

Question

I created a container(pvs.dbxml) using Berkeley XMLDB 2.5.16 and moved the container to another machine.

Below is the error I got while opening the container in new machine

dbxml> openContainer pvs.dbxml
stdin:1: openContainer failed, Error: Invalid argument

Is this error occured because the container was copied from another machine?

Answer 1

The container itself is portable across machines and most languages.

• Are you using the same library version?
• If you're using environments and/or transactions, did you make sure you copied everything over?
• If you're using a newer version, did you perform the upgrade process?
