Uhh, wrong list Jay. :-)
To answer Per's original question.
In the current API there isn't a way to create collections because this
is something that varies widely across databases. I did propose a simple
CollectionManagement service that would be an optional part of the API
for those implementors that can use its simple mechanism. For more
complex collection management functionality you need to write a vendor
specific service.
I'm sure this can be beefed up some but this is the service that I
proposed.
interface CollectionManagementService {
/* Create a new basic collection */
Collection createCollection( in string name ) raises(XMLDBException);
/* Remove the named collection */
void removeCollection( in string name ) raises(XMLDBException);
};
