Not directly, no. Depending on what you're doing, you might want to look
into XQSync
(http://developer.marklogic.com/howto/tutorials/2006-08-xqsync.xqy).
Another possibility is to write a simple web service, in a language of
your choice, that performs the directory-create on demand. Your XQuery
could POST a directory name to it, using xdmp:http-post().

Thanks - that clarifies why I'm not seeing any directories created on the file
system.
What I really want to do is the ability to create a directory in the file
system so that I can write a file to it with xdmp:save()
xdmp:save() works very well as long as the directory already exists - hence the
need to create the directory before performing the save operation.
It looks like xdmp:filesystem-directory will only give a listing of files
within an already existing directory. (not create one)
Is there a function to create a directory on the file system?
Thanks
David

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] xdmp:directory-create() doesn't seem to
work
xdmp:directory-create() creates a directory in the current database. It
may be that
http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.0/apidocs/UpdateBuiltins.html#xdmp:directory-create
isn't clear enough about this.
Perhaps you want
http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.0/apidocs/AdminBuiltins.html#xdmp:filesystem-directory
instead?

The following code does not actually create any directories - nor does it throw
any errors.
xquery version "1.0-ml";
xdmp:directory-create("test1/"),
xdmp:directory-create("/test2/"),
xdmp:directory-create("C:\Program Files\MarkLogic\test3/"),
xdmp:directory-create("C:/Program Files/MarkLogic/test4/"),
xdmp:directory-create("C:/Program Files/MarkLogic/test5/",
xdmp:default-permissions()),
xdmp:directory-create("C:\Program Files\MarkLogic\test6/",
xdmp:default-permissions()),
xdmp:directory-create("C:/tmp/test7/", xdmp:default-permissions()),
xdmp:directory-create("C:\tmp\test8/", xdmp:default-permissions())
This is on WindowsXP with ML version 4.0-1
Am I doing something wrong, or is this functionality broken? It appears that
both relative and absolute paths do not work.
Thanks,
David
