Could you clarify this for me ? In the first sentence you are asking for ODBC to do insert/update/delete but the rest of the use case describes XQuery, which suggests you want SQL access from within XQuery (without the server requirement of mlsam) ... So I am a little confused where you would like the feature. Thanks.

We would like to submit a Request For Enhancement to MarkLogic. We would like the MarkLogic ODBC connector to be able to insert/update/delete records. We have several teams at LDS that are asking for this feature. The primary use case is for applications to be able to use XQuery to query documents along with relational and dimensional data, such as user profiles, geo-political data, custom data from other relational databases, etc. Only when the data is in MarkLogic can we leverage MarkLogic's indexes to quickly answer questions. For example, most of our applications store documents in MarkLogic and we build custom XQuery applications to deliver this content to the web. Often, these applications need data from relational databases. Since there is no easy way in an XQuery application to pull or push relational data into MarkLogic, we typically do without the data or we write the application in Java or .NET. When we use Java or .NET to build an application, we tend not to use MarkLogic and live with Oracle Context indexes for our text needs. In a few cases we have gone to the effort to build web services on top of our relational data so MarkLogic can consume this data, but this is enough work that most developers prefer to build the app without including MarkLogic. In other cases we have used MLsam, but that requires another server, which increases our support cost and decreases our availability.
