Justin,
Yes, as far as I've explored; I know I can do any XQuery with the code at
"INPUT_MODULE_URI" as long as the transform returns a "node()*", because the
last statement in the module is "document {local:transform($URI)}".
Off the top of my head, thinking about the ones I've done, usually I want to
cull through certain documents (they have certain characteristics that I
specify in INPUT_QUERY) and pick out things that help me make a totally new
node - some of these involve taking a piece of information from the document
and doing lookups in other databases (xdmp:eval) to get bits of information
from them, then incorporate that information into my new node. Then, I either
write the document to a file system or insert into an altogether different DB.
If I needed to make multiple documents from a single document, I suppose I
might write them out to a file system in a single doc, then ingest them in the
new DB and break them out during the ingestion transformation.
David
p.s. If you want a couple of examples (one simple, one more complex), I can
e-mail them to you - just let me know...

during export?
David,
Nope, you're not missing anything. Currently there is no explicit hook to
provide custom transformation logic on outbound or inbound data movement. We're
looking at ways to better support this. Can you tell me more about the types of
processing you'd like to do? For example, is XQSync's 1 document in-1 document
out the right granularity? Any details would be much appreciated.

When I need to export a portion of a document, or manipulate it in some way, I
generally use XQSync to and put some XQuery at INPUT_MODULE_URI, then run
XQSync.
In looking at mlcp, I don't really see an option to transform the data when
exporting it to a file system. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
David
