I just downloaded MarkLogic Server 4.2 and have created a database and loaded
some data. I'm brand new to this, so I have a basic question on how to specify
a document to query.
I followed this tutorial for setting up a new database with the Shakespeare
data. But I'll go through a simple scenario of creating everything from
scratch.
1. Create a new database called "people"
2. Create a new forest called "people", no data directory specified
3. Create a new HTTP App Server called "people", specify a root folder,
port
8012, selected database "people"
4. Copy the cq folder from the samples folder
5. Copy an xml file to the http server root called people.xml. Here is
the
contents:
6. <people>
<person name="bob" />
<person name="jim" />
<person name="bob" />
<person name="ryan" />
</people>
7. I load the data using the load tab of the people database screen.
8. In CQ->explore, I see: /C/software/MarkLogic
Server/db/people/people.xml – element people (properties) (no collections)
9. Now I can query this data:
xquery version "1.0-ml";
for $person in doc()/people/person
return (
<div>
$person/@name
<a href="delete.xqy?path={ xdmp:path($person) }">delete</a>
</div>
)
There are some problems with this query that some research will help me to
figure out--the results look like this:
$person/@name delete
$person/@name delete
$person/@name delete
$person/@name delete
--but I'm getting the right number of results. My question is, how to I target
a document by name?
If I change the doc() call above to read doc( "people.xml" ), I get an emtpy
return set in response. I need this to work because I have several xml files
loaded into the database I'm trying to work with, and I want to be specific.
Thanks for helping out!
