Thanks for the reply.

I’d love to use the JS library instead, but I couldn’t find the JS functions 
that would replicate the ones below – such as 
admin:database-get-range-element-indexes. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place?

Hey,

I have the basic idea of how to achieve creating a view based on the current 
indexes on a field, I just can’t tie all the pieces together so hoping someone 
can help!

When calling admin:database-get-range-element-indexes() it returns a bunch of 
XML defining the indexes. I want to loop through each index, retrieve some 
values (the XML looks something like:

2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer: <range-element-index 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; 
xmlns="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/database";>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer:   <scalar-type>int</scalar-type>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer:   <collation/>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer:   <namespace-uri/>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer:   <localname>localname</localname>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer:   
<range-value-positions>true</range-value-positions>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer:   
<invalid-values>ignore</invalid-values>
2016-02-02 14:14:28.322 Info: TaskServer: </range-element-index>

And store then in a sequence. I’ve tried the below to no luck, as my XQuery is 
not the strongest.

Let $seq := ()
For $i in admin:database-get-range-element-indexes(admin:get-configuration(), 
xdmp:database(‘myDatabase’))
Return fn:insert-before($seq, 0, view:column($i/range-element-index/localname, 
$i/range-element-index/localname)

But that doesn’t seem to work (there’s no error, it just doesn’t “do” anything).


The insert-before is returning a new sequence each time, so not what you expect 
(doesn't change $seq). You aren't using the namespace for the index elements 
either, so wouldn't be finding anything.

Something like the below is probably closer.  It gets the namespace/localname, 
tokenizes since you can have more than one, removes a hyphen since that's not 
allowed in a view column name.  Did sort-of work on the simplistic basic db I 
tested on, but may be more complications.

xquery version "1.0-ml";
import module namespace admin = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/admin"; at 
"/MarkLogic/admin.xqy";
import module namespace view = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/view"; at 
"/MarkLogic/views.xqy";
declare namespace db = 'http://marklogic.com/xdmp/database';
let $config := admin:get-configuration()
let $seq :=
  for $i in admin:database-get-range-element-indexes(admin:get-configuration(), 
xdmp:database('Documents'))
  let $namespace-uri := $i/db:namespace-uri/fn:string()
  for $localname in fn:tokenize ($i/db:localname/fn:string(), '[ ,]+')
  let $col-name := fn:replace ($localname, '-', '')
  let $col := view:column($col-name, cts:element-reference (fn:QName 
($namespace-uri, $localname)))
  return $col
return $seq

It looks like it gives what you want, though I didn't use the results at all.

Also, if JS is more natural, you can use that instead.
