Hello, As a workaround, I'm storing the date in the path itself (4th token). I need to delete some paths based on a condition, however, nothing gets deleted. for $doc in collection('project1') return document-uri($doc) --------------------------------------------- project1/RESULT/SOURCEID2/1000/filename1 project1/RESULT/SOURCEID2/2000/filename1 project1/RESULT/SOURCEID3/3000/filename1 project1/RESULT/SOURCEID3/4000/filename2 project1/RESULT/SOURCEID3/5000/filename3 project1/RESULT/SOURCEID1/1000/filename1 --------------------------------------------- for $doc in collection('project1') let $arr := tokenize(document-uri($doc), '/') where xs:integer($arr[4]) <= 4000 return delete node $doc (: db:delete('project1', document-uri($doc)) :) -------------------------------------------- I tried both "delete node" and "db:delete" but none seem to delete the paths. Can someone give me some pointer about what I might be doing wrong? Thanks, Anupam ________________________________ From: Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com> To: Anupam Bakshi <bakshia@yahoo.com> Cc: BaseX <basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de> Sent: Sunday, June 3, 2012 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [basex-talk] Apparant discrepancy in collection and db:list Hi Anupam,
It seems that db:list-details() shows the same "modified-date" attribute for all resources in a database which is same as the last-modified time of any of the paths.
this is because the modification time is currently not stored for each single resource. It may change in a future version (this could be aligned with the constraint that a document with a specific path can only be stored once). Christian
