Charlie, At least a couple of us here at Mark Logic (from various backgrounds) use Eclipse. Eclipse is a free product and there is a good Mark Logic/XQuery plugin called xqide.
I personally do a lot of web development work with my XQuery so I use the Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) which is bundled on the Eclipse site. I'm a .NET guy so my most used development tools are (in order): Eclipse, CQ (from http://dev.marklogic.com), and Visual Studio. Here's everything you should need to get started: http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/ (download the All-in-one package including Eclipse) http://xqide.org/eclipse/plugin-page.php Here's why I like it: - Very solid editors for HTML, JavaScript, CSS, XQuery, XML, et al. - Has a very nice project system. - Highly extensible. Here's what I don't like about it: - You can run XQuery with xqide inside of Eclipse but it's buggy so I use CQ instead - Highlighting and Syntax checking is good but not perfect - Eclipse can be difficult to learn beyond the basic setup described above. Cheers!

In second place are favorite text editors, such as Emacs, VI, and TextPad. Stylus Studio and Oxygen have direct connectors to Mark Logic, so you can run your XQuery against the server directly. While I don't use this feature, I do use Stylus. XMetal is another XML IDE that some use.

I have done some looking around and it looks like oXygen is pretty good. http://www.oxygenxml.com/native_xml_databases.html I also tried to get the Marklogic JEdit plug-in going and the XML Indenter has been merged with the XML plug-in and well things aren't working right with JEdit. Any insights, preferences... I use IntelliJ as my normal code editor.

Here are the things I would try next: 1) Upgrade to 3.1-4. I am not sure that will resolve your current situation, but it is a good idea anyway. 2) Try to simplify the issue a little to figure out what is going on. Here is what I would do: a) create a fresh database (create a new forest, create a new database, attach the new forest to the new database) b) load a single document that has the structure you want. For example, you could run something like this in cq against your new db: xdmp:document-insert("/test.xml", <RootElement><InsurancePolicy index="123">some text</InsurancePolicy></RootElement>) c) try running cts:element-attribute-values(xs:QName("InsurancePolicy"),xs:QName("index ")) against your new db. It should throw XDMP-ELEMATTRRIDXNOTFOUND: d) create the attribute index with type string, parent localname "InsurancePolicy", localname "Index". If you created the db with the default options, it will automatically reindex (will happen quickly since there is only one doc in the db). e) run the lexicon query again. It should return "123" I hope this helps. -Danny -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Patrick Force Sent: Thursday, January 11, 2007 12:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] max function alternatives UPDATED Sorry for the confusion. My initial post used generic values as reference points and I accidentally used the real element/attribute names when I displayed the query. My actual attribute index and XQuery as I've set it: element QName: InsurancePolicy attribute QName: index cts:element-attribute-values(xs:QName("InsurancePolicy"),xs:QName("index ")) Sorry for the confusion. With that in mind, should we upgrade to 3.1-4? It's seeming more and more like this might be a support/upgrade issue in the attribute index setting. Thanks again. Patrick Hi Patrick, In looking again at what you are trying to do, I think perhaps you have set up the index on the wrong element/attribute conbination. I may not have this correct, but based on what it says below, here is what I see. Below, you say you have an index on the following: element QName: RootElement attribute QName: index But the query you are trying to perform is this: cts:element-attribute-values(xs:QName("InsurancePolicy"),xs:QName("id")) This query requires the range index on: element QName: InsurancePolicy attribute QName: id So I guess the thing to verify is exactly what index do you have created, and exactly what query are you trying to perform. -Danny -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In my case it turned out to be namespace problems. That is, I was not asking for what I thought I was. Look at the call: cts:element-attribute-values(xs:QName("InsurancePolicy"),xs:QName("index ")) xs:QName operates in the context of the current element namespace. Suppose that namespace is bound as myns:. That means that xs:QName("InsurancePolicy") is acting as though you called xs:QName("myns:InsurancePolicy"). The real problem is likely to be the attribute name. xs:QName("index") acts like xs:QName("myns:index"), but attributes are generally in a null namespace.
