Re: [Sedna-discussion] collections - how to? and a suggestion

[Ivan S. <shc...@gm...>]

Hi Mark,

All system documents and collections start with "$" symbol. Try something
like the following to filter them out:

*doc('$collections')//collection[not(starts-with(@name, '$'))]*

Suggestion: right now we have the CREATE, DELETE, and RENAME xquery

No. It's like 'R' retrieves too much information. Possibly, we should return
only collections/documents names user has access to? However, it'll
complicate internal logic of the doc('$collection') query and I don't sure
that we actually need this.
