Index Module
This module provides XQuery functions for displaying information stored in the database index structures. All functions are introduced with the index:
prefix, which is linked to the statically declared http://basex.org/modules/index
namespace.
Contents
Commonalities
All functions share $db
as argument, which may either reference a string, denoting the name of the addressed database, or a node from an already opened database. The following errors may be raised by all functions:
- BASX0001 is raised if the index required by a function is not available.
- BASX0002 is raised if
$db
references a node that is not stored in a database (i.e., references a main-memory XML fragment). - BASX0003 is raised if the addressed database cannot be opened.
Functions
index:facets
Signatures | index:facets($db as item()) as xs:string index:facets($db as item(), $type as xs:string) as xs:string

index:texts
Signatures | index:texts($db as item()) as element(value)* index:texts($db as item(), $prefix as xs:string) as element(value)*
|
Summary | Returns all strings stored in the text index, along with their number of occurrences. If $prefix is specified, the returned nodes will be refined to the strings starting with that prefix.
|
index:attributes
Signatures | index:attributes($db as item()) as element(value)* index:attributes($db as item(), $prefix as xs:string) as element(value)*
|
Summary | Returns all strings stored in the attribute index, along with their number of occurrences. If $prefix is specified, the returned nodes will be refined to the strings starting with that prefix.
|
index:element-names
Signatures | index:element-names($db as item()) as element(value)*
|
Summary | Returns all element names stored in the index, along with their number of occurrences. |
index:attribute-names
Signatures | index:attribute-names($db as item()) as element(value)*
|
Summary | Returns all attribute names stored in the index, along with their number of occurrences. |
