Functions

index:facets

Signatures	index:facets($db as xs:string) as xs:string index:facets($db as xs:string, $type as xs:string) as xs:string
Summary	Returns information about all facets and facet values of the database $db in document structure format. If $type is specified as flat, the function returns this information in a flat summarized version. The returned data is derived from the Path Index.
Errors	BXDB0002: The addressed database does not exist or could not be opened.
Examples	index:facets("DB") returns information about facets and facet values on the database DB in document structure. index:facets("DB", "flat") returns information about facets and facet values on the database DB in a summarized flat structure.

index:texts

Signatures	index:texts($db as xs:string) as element(value)* index:texts($db as xs:string, $prefix as xs:string) as element(value)* index:texts($db as xs:string, $start as xs:string, $ascending as xs:boolean) as element(value)*
Summary	Returns all strings stored in the Text Index of the database $db, along with their number of occurrences. If $prefix is specified, the returned entries will be refined to the ones starting with that prefix. If $start and $ascending are specified, all nodes will be returned after or before the specified start entry.
Errors	BXDB0002: The addressed database does not exist or could not be opened. BXDB0004: the text index is not available.

index:attributes

Signatures	index:attributes($db as xs:string) as element(value)* index:attributes($db as xs:string, $prefix as xs:string) as element(value)* index:attributes($db as xs:string, $start as xs:string, $ascending as xs:boolean) as element(value)*

If $prefix is specified, the returned entries will be refined to the ones starting with that prefix. If $start and $ascending are specified, all nodes will be returned after or before the specified start entry.
