If you want to test in a conditional:

if (doc($uri))

If you actually want a boolean value:

exists(doc($uri))

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] xml file existence

Hi all,

Is there a function to determine if an xml file exists within the ML
database? I thought it would be xdmp:uri-is-file, but as far as I can tell this checks for the existence of a file on the application server
(not IN the database).  I can't find a native function to check this,
currently I'm doing:

define function util:uri-exists($uri as xs:string)
as xs:boolean
{
        fn:exists(fn:doc($uri))
}

Is there a better way?

Cheers,

Eric
