Re: How to index the files without uploading them in eXist DB

Dear Dr. Vandana Jha,

Maybe would be helpful to have in eXist-DB some master files, arranged in
what hierarchy you might consider as being adequate, and these master files
to contain the information to be indexed by eXist-DB and path(s) to the
PostgreSQL repository/

You can generate these master files by using one or more XQuery scripts,
and you can keep them synchronized with the PostgreSQL repository's files
by running the XQuery script(s) periodically.

Best regards,
Claudius Teodorescu
