Hi Tim, You are correct, a forest can only be assigned to a single database.
I'm not really sure why the API is named this way, but this way if the above fact ever changes then the API name does not need to change. -Danny From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Meagher Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 6:24 PM To: 'General Mark Logic Developer Discussion' Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] forest-databases seems to imply one to many Hi Folks, I'm looking at the definition of the function xdmp:forest-databases from the MarkLogic 4.1 documentation (see below). By its name, it seems to imply that a forest can be connected to multiple databases, but according to the summary, it returns the (single) ID of the database to which the forest belongs. Maybe I'm being a little too picky, but if there is a one-to-one relationship I would expect it to be named xdmp:forest-database(), but at the same time I want to be sure that a forest can indeed be associated with only one database. Thank you! Tim Meagher xdmp:forest-databases xdmp:forest-databases( $forest as xs:unsignedLong ) as xs:unsignedLong Summary: Returns the database ID corresponding to the database to which the specified forest belongs. Parameters: $forest: A forest ID. Example: xdmp:forest-databases(xdmp:forest("Documents")) => 2032458498523149048
