Hello devs, Roberto and I yesterday discussed that it would be useful to be able to load (compressed) XML collections directly into MonetDB/XQuery. The attached diff provides a new feature for loading multiple XML docs directly from tar files. Usage: "mclient -lxq -C <colname>" and pass a tarfile via stdin, see example below.
My question: is this useful enough to make it into MonetDB? And if so,
is the current syntax appropriate. Comments are appreciated.
Greetings,
Wouter
$ mkdir xmlfiles
$ echo "<abc/>" > xmlfiles/aap.xml
$ echo "<abc/>" > xmlfiles/beer.xml
$ tar cf xmlfiles.tar xmlfiles
$ mclient -lxq -C xmlfiles < xmlfiles.tar
Copying TAR file into collection: 'xmlfiles'
Name: xmlfiles/beer.xml Length: 7
Name: xmlfiles/aap.xml Length: 7
$ echo 'pf:documents("xmlfiles")' | mclient -lxq
<document updatable="false" url="xmlfiles/aap.xml"
collection="xmlfiles">xmlfiles/aap.xml</document>,
<document updatable="false" url="xmlfiles/beer.xml"
collection="xmlfiles">xmlfiles/beer.xml</document>
$
tarpatch.diff
