Hi Pragya, If you store the entire document list in one document fragment, indexing won’t help anyhow. Best would be to split at Document element, and store those as separate documents in the database. Next, you can either annotate the XML with an attribute containing an iso-formatted xs:date string for a date type index, or you could put such a value in a document property. The latter comes with extra overhead though. You could also put separate int range indexes on year/month/day, but the query would have to be fully decomposed, and would perform worse. In cts:parse language:
year EQ 2015 AND ((month GT 8 OR month LT 12) OR (month EQ 8 AND day GE 29) OR (month EQ 12 AND day LE 3)) Cheers, Geert From: <general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com<mailto:general-boun...@developer.marklogic.com>> on behalf of "Kapoor, Pragya" <pkapo...@innodata.com<mailto:pkapo...@innodata.com>> Reply-To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <general@developer.marklogic.com<mailto:general@developer.marklogic.com>> Date: Wednesday, March 30, 2016 at 9:56 AM To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <general@developer.marklogic.com<mailto:general@developer.marklogic.com>> Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] Attribute Range index Hi, I have an xml in which date is stored as below: <Date Year="2015" Month="11" Day="25">2015 Nov 25</Date> Now I need to search for those elements in the xml those date falls between D1 and D2 where D1 = 2015-08-29 and D2 = 2015-12-03 sample XML( this is a big file,I have just taken few elements here) : <DocumentList> <Document> <DocumentType>AM</DocumentType> <ID>/docs/123.xml</ID> <Number>0005002</Number> <Date Year="2015" Month="11" Day="20">2015 Nov 20</Date> </Document> <Document> <DocumentType>AM</DocumentType> <ID>/docs/3456.xml</ID> <Number>0005002</Number> <Date Year="2016" Month="02" Day="25">2015 Nov 25</Date> </Document> <Document> <AddedToSynopsysDate>2016-02-18T20:17:54.674+05:30</AddedToSynopsysDate> <DocumentType>AM</DocumentType> <ID>/docs/678.xml</ID> <Number>0005002</Number> <Date Year="2015" Month="11" Day="30">2015 Nov 30</Date> </Document> <DocumentList> Do I need to create attribute range index for each (year, month and date) Could you please help on this?
