Hi Aswini,

I recommend not depending on forests, otherwise scaling your database later on 
will not be that easy.

Collections and directories work independently within MarkLogic Server. In 
essence you could say that documents are always stored in some directory, but 
documents can be added to collections at random.

Adding a document to a directory is as simple as inserting it with a uri that 
starts with the directory you would like to insert the document into. For 
instance:

xdmp:document-insert("/mydir/myfile.xml", <myfile/>) creates a file myfile.xml 
within directory /mydir/. The directory is usually created automatically 
(default setting in the database properties, see admin console at 
http://localhost:8001/), otherwise you will need to call xdmp:create-directory 
first.

Assigning documents to collections can be done with an additional argument on 
xdmp:document-insert, or using xdmp:document-add-collections.

I think you will find the reference guide helpful:

Kind regards,
Geert
