#include <DbXml.hpp>

void
XmlContainer::addDefaultIndex(
    const std::string &index,
    XmlUpdateContext &context)

XmlContainer::addDefaultIndex(
    XmlTransaction &txn,
    const std::string &index,
    XmlUpdateContext &context)

Adds a default index to the container This method is for convenience — see XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex for more information.

Parameters

txn

If the operation is to be transaction-protected, the txn parameter is an XmlTransaction handle returned from XmlManager::createTransaction.

index

A comma-separated list of strings that represent the indexing strategy. The strings must contain the following information in the following order:

unique-{path type}-{node type}-{key type}-{syntax}

where:

  • unique indicates that the indexed value is unique in the container. If this keyword does not appear on the index string, then the indexed value is not required to be unique in the container.

  • {path type} is either node or edge.

  • {node type} is one of element, attribute, or metadata. If metadata is specified, then {path type} must be node.

  • {key type} is one of presence, equality, or substring.

  • {syntax} identifies the type of information being indexed. It must be one of the following values:

    nonedoublegYear
    base64BinarydurationgYearMonth
    booleanfloathexBinary
    dategDaystring
    dateTimegMonthtime
    decimalgMonthDay 

Note that if {key type} is presence, then {syntax} must be none or simply not specified.

Some example index strings are:

    unique-node-element-presence

    node-element-equality-string

    edge-element-presence-none

    node-element-equality-float 

context

The update context to use for the index operation.
