Hi Cerstin,
correct, new documents will aways be added after the existing documents, which is why the existing node ids won't change. The ids returned by "node-id()" won't change, too, in contrast to the values returned by "node-pre()".
Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________
I will implement a web interface to edit and update specific nodes in an existing database. This will probably be controlled mainly by the node-id. Therefore it is no good idea to change the collection during the editing process because node-ids would change.
However, it seems that when adding a document to a collection it will be integrated *after* all existing documents. Is it guaranteed that when adding a new document to a collection, no existing node-ids are changed? I would have to re-index the collection when adding new documents.
Best regards
Cerstin
