OK - thanks for the heads up. Might I suggest the simple addition of an "import/export configuration" on the admin UI would be a huge boon.
A system that at some level uses files is terrifically useful, since it allows the use of files-based tools like version control to be applied to the config. I understand you need to maintain some control over the config so the database is not compromised in some way, but I wonder if it would be possible to support importing (a possibly reduced set of) configuration from an external file. This would be hugely useful in supporting multiple installations of the same or similar database setups. -Mike -----Original Message----- From: Ron Avnur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Avnur Sent: Sunday, September 02, 2007 4:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] databases.xml Mike, Making changes directly to configuration files is not supported. I do not recommend it. In a future release, we will add the ability to manage MarkLogic Server's configuration by writing XQuery code. This will be a supported alternative to the admin UI, not direct manipulation of config files.

This is so much easier and less error-prone than using the web UI to cut and paste all the fields, indexing parameters, phrase-throughs, range indexes and so on. -Mike ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://xqzone.com/mailman/listinfo/general End of General Digest, Vol 39, Issue 1 ************************************** _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://xqzone.com/mailman/listinfo/general
