XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex

#include <DbXml.hpp>

void XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex(const std::string &index)

void XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex(Type type, 
       XmlValue::Type syntax)

Adds an indexing strategy to the default index specification. That is, the index provided on this method is applied to all nodes in a container, except for those for which an explicit index is already declared. For more information on specifying indexing strategies, see XmlIndexSpecification::addIndex.

You can specify an index by using a string, or by using enumerated values.

Specifying indexes as strings

#include <DbXml.hpp>

void XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex(const std::string &index)

Identifies one or more indexing strategies to the default index.

Parameters are:

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 

Specifying indexes as enumerated values

#include <DbXml.hpp>

void XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex(Type type, 
       XmlValue::Type syntax)

Adds a single indexing strategy to the default index.

Parameters are:

type

A series of XmlIndexSpecification::Type values bitwise OR'd together to form the index strategy.

To indicate whether the indexed value must be unique container-wide, use one of the following, or leave the value out entirely:

  • XmlIndexSpecification::UNIQUE_OFF

  • XmlIndexSpecification::UNIQUE_ON

To identify the path type, use one of the following:

  • XmlIndexSpecification::PATH_NODE

  • XmlIndexSpecification::PATH_EDGE

To identify the node type, use one of the following:

  • XmlIndexSpecification::NODE_ELEMENT

  • XmlIndexSpecification::NODE_ATTRIBUTE

  • XmlIndexSpecification::NODE_METADATA

Note that if XmlIndexSpecification::NODE_METADATA is used, then XmlIndexSpecification::PATH_NODE must also be used as well.

To identify the key type, use one of the following:

  • XmlIndexSpecification::KEY_PRESENCE

  • XmlIndexSpecification::KEY_EQUALITY

  • XmlIndexSpecification::KEY_SUBSTRING

For example:

XmlIndexSpecification::PATH_NODE | 
XmlIndexSpecification::NODE_ELEMENT |
XmlIndexSpecification::KEY_SUBSTRING 

syntax

Identifies the type of information being indexed. The value must be one of the XmlValue enumerated types:

  • XmlValue::NONE

  • XmlValue::BASE_64_BINARY

  • XmlValue::BOOLEAN

  • XmlValue::DATE

  • XmlValue::DATE_TIME

  • XmlValue::DECIMAL

  • XmlValue::DOUBLE

  • XmlValue::DURATION

  • XmlValue::FLOAT

  • XmlValue::G_DAY

  • XmlValue::G_MONTH

  • XmlValue::G_MONTH_DAY

  • XmlValue::G_YEAR

  • XmlValue::G_YEAR_MONTH

  • XmlValue::HEX_BINARY

  • XmlValue::STRING

  • XmlValue::TIME

Note that if XmlIndexSpecification::KEY_PRESENCE is specified for the type parameter, then this parameter must be XmlValue::NONE.

Errors

The XmlIndexSpecification::addDefaultIndex method may fail and throw XmlException , encapsulating one of the following non-zero errors:

UNKNOWN_INDEX

Unknown index specification.
