Re: 504 error in relatively small query

I feel like your query could run much faster in eXist with some adjustments.
- I would avoid reopening the document in the *where* and put it in a
variable
- not(exists()) can be replaced by empty() and make evaluation more
efficient
-  /id() is faster than @xml:id =

let $listPerson := doc('/db/apps/****/data/listPerson.xml')
for $ref in subsequence(collection('/db/apps/****/data')//ref[@type eq
'2'],1,####)
where empty($listPerson/id($ref/@target))
return
     $ref

Cheers,
