Re: exception error code

[Mark J. Stang]

It means something didn't work :-).   I don't mean that in a bad way, I think you get that error for many different types of problems. Have you created the collection "myexamples"? Try dbxmladmin lc -c /db It should list your collections. Try "getting" one of the ones that are in the list.
