This section contains some examples of schemas that define various different kinds of indices. The following cases are shown here:
The following example illustrates how a simple Tamino query can be optimized by defining an appropriate index. For a full description of the query language, see the X-Query User Guide.
The example illustrate how the efficiency of retrieval operations can be influenced by intelligent indexing.
Specifying a tsd:index
element with a
tsd:text
child element
correctly stores the whole XML instance and performs full text indexing on the
terminal nodes.
The hospital example is structured as shown in the picture:
Note:
The source of the hospital example is to be found in
the section Examples of the appendix.
Line numbers were added only for improving readability and easy
reference.
This picture shows the definition of the
patient
element within the hospital /
patient
schema example.
The corresponding schema looks like this:
Note:
The definition of an index takes place in the lines of code
from 0870
to 1160
and also the lines
1340
to 1640

Imagine the schema of the example above would have been changed by
the following schema fragment concerning the definition of a standard index for
the element called surname
of type
xs:string
:
. . . <xs:element name = "surname" type = "xs:string"> <xs:annotation> <xs:appinfo> <tsd:elementInfo> <tsd:physical> <tsd:native> <tsd:index> <tsd:standard/> </tsd:index> </tsd:native> </tsd:physical> </tsd:elementInfo> </xs:appinfo> </xs:annotation> </xs:element> . . .
This would lead to the creation of a standard index instead of a
text index for the element surname
.
See also the description of
tsd:index
.
This example schema provides four elements located on 3 different
levels, whereby A
and B
are of multiplicity greater than 1:
An element A
one stage below root
level
A child element of A
named
B
Two child elements of B
named
C
and D
.
On B
, a compound index is declared for
the children C
and D
which are of datatype "string" and of datatype
"integer", respectively.
Note:
The definition of a compound index takes place in the lines of
code from 250 to 300.

The schema must provide the path /Doc/A/E
to the node
F
. The node E
has a
recursive structure
E
->E
.
F
has a multiple path index of type standard with
datatype xs:string
. Below the node A
as
well the sub-tree B
with
C
and D
are defined.
A
and B
are without
multiplicity greater than 1.

This example shows how four different coexisting indices are defined in parallel, namely a simple text index, a simple standard index and two different compound indices:
<xs:element ...> ... <tsd:elementInfo> <tsd:physical> [<tsd:which>...</tsd:which>] <tsd:native> <tsd:index> <tsd:text/> <tsd:standard/> <tsd:standard> <tsd:field xpath="C"/> <tsd:field xpath="B/@b" /> </tsd:standard > <tsd:standard> <tsd:field xpath="D"/> <tsd:field xpath="B/@b" /> </tsd:standard > ... </tsd:index> </tsd:native> </tsd:physical> </tsd:elementInfo> </xs:element>
This example schema provides 3 levels of references:
the document root;
A
appearing with multiplicity
greater than 1;
B
appearing with multiplicity
greater than 1.
Below B there are two nodes C
and
D
which have indices (one of type text
and one type standard
with datatype integer
), which
refer to B
. On B
a
reference index is declared, which points to A
and
A
refers to the document root.

This example illustrates three different types or levels of usage of computed indexes:
basic usage;
a pseudo-compound index concatenating two strings with a
delimiter;
for sorting.
As described in the Performance Guide, section Advanced Indexes, a computed index and its usage consist of several components as given below:
module namespace demo="http://example.computedIndex.org" declare function demo:getTitleLowerCase($in as node()) as xs:string* { for $t in $in//title return lower-case(string($t)) } declare function demo:getAuthorFullName($in as node()) as xs:string* { for $a in $in//author return string-join( ( string($a/last), string($a/first) ), "," ) } declare function demo:getAuthorsTotalNameLength($in as node()) as xs:integer { xs:integer(sum( for $a in $in//author return string-length(string($a/last)) )) }

The following XQuery statements are evaluated using the computed indexes defined above:
import module namespace demo='http://example.computedIndex.org'; for $x in collection(‘mybib’)/bib where demo:getTitleLowerCase(root($x))='tcp/ip illustrated' return $x import module namespace demo='http://example.computedIndex.org'; for $x in collection(‘mybib’)/bib where demo:getAuthorFullName(root($x)) = 'Stevens,W.' return $x import module namespace demo='http://example.computedIndex.org'; for $x in collection(‘mybib’)/bib order by demo:getAuthorsTotalNameLength(root($x))" return $x
Note that all of these XQuery statements using the respective XQuery functions receive the document root as input parameter. This is required in order to enable the XQuery processor to take advantage of using the computed index.
The following data can be used to test the computed indexes as defined above:
