Re: [Exist-open] How to index the files without uploading them in eXist DB

[Dr. V. J. <vjv...@gm...>]

Dear Claudius,

I think your idea is matching with my requirements and if it works, it can
be the solution I am looking for, but can you elaborate what do you mean
with these master files and where it will be (in db/master-files)?

If you can give some examples or link some resources where this concept is
explained, it would be really appreciated. Here I would like to mention, I
am very new to eXist-DB. I have just downloaded it, populated with some 100
files in a collection and able to do basic xquery commands. I have an
Oreilly "eXist" book by Erik Seigel, purchased today only so if in this
book it is explained somewhere or is there any web link which I can
read/look at? If you have time and can explain.

Thanks for the help and suggestion and looking forward to your reply.

Thanks & Regards,
Dr. Vandana Jha
