Hi, Pragya:
If you need to retrieve the document anyway, you can test for the existence or
absence of nodes with:
http://docs.marklogic.com/fn:exists
http://docs.marklogic.com/fn:empty
as in
let $root:= fn:doc("/misc/SavedTextSearches.xml")/TextSearches
let $hasUser := ($root/User/Name/string(.) = $User)
let $isHidden := fn:exists($root/Hidden)
return ...
To find documents of interest based on criteria, however, you should use
cts:search() instead of fn:doc(),
fn:doc() retrieves documents into memory before inspecting the document, where
cts:search() matches against the indexes and thus (depending on the criteria)
retrieves many fewer documents much more quickly.
Hoping that helps,
Erik Hennum

Few more examples:
if ($DocRecord[fn:not(.[Hidden])])
then
()
else
$DocRecord
if ($NumOfGroups = 1)
then
$DocRecords[fn:not(.[Hidden])]
else ()

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] If xml element exists
Hi,
I need to check the below conditions at multiple places, if there are other
more performant way to achieve these:
if ( fn:doc("/misc/SavedTextSearches.xml")/TextSearches/User[Name = $User] )
then
"YES"
else
"NO"
if ( fn:doc("/misc/SavedTextSearches.xml")/TextSearches )
then
( )
else 'p'
Thanks
Pragya
