Using the attribute index I can get all attributes of a specific name that have a specific value or token (db:attribute()) and I can get all the values for all attributes that start with a specific prefix (index:attributes()) but I don’t
see a way to get, from the index, all the values for all the attributes of a specific name.
Have I missed something?
My use case is I have an index over my docs where each index entry is of the form:
<doc-to-bundle-index-entry key="10503999" filename="c_DataCertification.dita" dbpath="product/data-certification/concept/c_DataCertification.dita" bundles="bundle-platcap-platform-capabilities"/>
And I would like the distinct-values of all the @bundles attributes. There are about 40K entry elements.
Of course I can do:
doc-to-bundle-index/doc-to-bundle-index-entry/@bundles ! tokenize(., '\s+')
=> distinct-values()
And that seems plenty fast, but it seemed like there should be a way to do it with the indexes alone. But it may be that the query on the @bundle attribute actually uses the index anyway…
Cheers,
E.
