create collection, add document to zorba using command line?

Question

I am wondering how one creates a collection and adds a document to that collection in a fresh zorba install using the commandline interface http://www.zorba-xquery.com/html/documentation/2.7.0/zorba/commandline

If it cannot be done with the command line an example using the scripting api would be good.

Answer 1

This can be done using XQuery scripting. Consider the following XQuery module:

module namespace news-data = "http://www.news.org/data";

declare namespace an = "http://www.zorba-xquery.com/annotations";

declare collection news-data:employees as element(employee)*;
declare variable $news-data:employees := xs:QName('news-data:employees');

You can use it like this:

import module namespace news-data = "http://www.news.org/data" at "news-data.xq";

import module namespace ddl = "http://www.zorba-xquery.com/modules/store/static/collections/ddl";
import module namespace dml = "http://www.zorba-xquery.com/modules/store/static/collections/dml";

ddl:create($news-data:employees);
dml:insert-nodes($news-data:employees, doc("test2.xml"));
