Berkeley DB XML ConnectionThis section explains the actions that are available on a Berkeley DB XML connection.Actions Available at Connection LevelIn a Berkeley DB XML repository the actions available at connection level in the Data Source Explorer view are thefollowing:• Refresh - Performs a refresh of the selected node's subtree.• Disconnect - Closes the current database connection.•Configure Database Sources - Opens the Data Sources preferences page where you can configure both datasources and connections.• Add container - Adds a new container in the repository with the following attributes.• Name - The name of the new container.• Container type - At creation time, every container must have a type defined for it. This container type identifieshow XML documents are stored in the container. As such, the container type can only be determined at containercreation time; you cannot change it on subsequent container opens. Containers can have one of the followingtypes specified for them:• Node container - XML documents are stored as individual nodes in the container. That is, each record in theunderlying database contains a single leaf node, its attributes and attribute values if any, and its text nodes,if any. Berkeley DB XML also keeps the information it needs to reassemble the document from the individualnodes stored in the underlying databases. This is the default, and preferred, container type.• Whole document container - The container contains entire documents. The documents are stored withoutany manipulation of line breaks or whitespace.• Allow validation - If checked it causes documents to be validated when they are loaded into the container. Thedefault behavior is to not validate documents.• Index nodes - If checked it causes indices for the container to return nodes rather than documents. The defaultis to index at the document level. This property has no meaning if the container type is whole document container.• Properties - Shows a dialog containing a list of the Berkeley connection properties: version, home location, defaultcontainer type, compression algorithm, etc.Actions Available at Container LevelIn a Berkeley DB XML repository the actions available at container level in the Data Source Explorer view are thefollowing:• Add Resource - Adds a new XML resource to the selected container.• Rename - Allows you to specify a new name for the selected container.• Delete - Removes the selected container from the database tree.• Edit indices - Allows you to edit the indices for the selected container.Working with Databases | 354
