The signature would have to change.

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.

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!
