Hi Iain,
You can keep all documents in a collection and then use query like below :
let $id := "abc123"
Return
cts:search(fn:collection("MyCollection")//*[@id[.=$id]],())
This query will give you that particular document which contain id="abc123"
Similar you can use with combination
let $id := "abc123"
let $alt-id :="zyx987"
Return
cts:search(fn:collection("MyCollection")//*[@id[.=$id]][@alt-id[.=$alt-id]],())
This query will give you that particular document which contain id="abc123" and
alt-id=" zyx987"
Hope, it will help you.
Regards,
Asit Nautiyal

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Constrained searches across multiple element
names
Hello all
We have the following (simplified) example documents:
<cat id="abc123" alt-id="zyx987" xmlns="blah"> .. </cat>
<dog id="aaa999" alt-id="bbb888" xmlns="blah"> .. </dog>
<elephant id="xxxxxx" alt-id="yyyyyy" xmlns="blah"> .. </elephant>
In other words, our documents are all in the same namespace, they all have
attributes @id and @alt-id, but the root node might be many different types
(I've specified 'cat', 'dog', 'elephant' here but in reality there are not just
3, there are potentially dozens).
We'd like to give our users the ability to search this data with queries such as
id:aaa999
or
alt-id:zyx987
but I'm having trouble composing a valid set of Search constraint options to
achieve this. As far as I can tell, for both value constraints and word
constraints I'd need to specify an element name as well as the attribute name,
and obviously in this case there could be many different element names.
Any suggestions gratefully received!
TIA
