Hi, In one of our application there is a need of bulk update of documents. Here user can make change over a set of documents. This set may contains 10 or may be more than thousand documents and changes may be of some node or all nodes of each document in the set.
Also the normal insertion of a xml document in database goes through insertion pipeline and by adding some extra node within ingestion process it insert three copy of the document with in three different database folder called Admin, Live and History. So, our problem is either we can make bulkupdate using the this pipeline structure which automatically re-insert the document all the places or we can only replace those nodes which user want to update. In the second approach we need to update explicitly all the three places using marklogic transactions. So that we can make sure data is consistent everywhere. As, I gone through xdmp:document-insert documentation I found If a document already exists at the specified URI, the function replaces the content of the existing document with the specified content (the $root parameter) as an update operation. So is it mean the overhead in replacing a node of a document and re-inserting that document after making change of that node are same..? If not please suggest what is the good way to handle it out through MarkLogic. Thanks, Varun Varunesh
