Summary of DBMS_XDB_ADMIN Subprograms

This table lists the package subprograms in alphabetical order.

Table 164-1 DBMS_XDB_ADM Package Subprograms

Subprogram	Description
CREATEREPOSITORYXMLINDEX Procedure	[Deprecated] Creates an XMLIndex on the XML DB repository
DROPREPOSITORYXMLINDEX Procedure	[Deprecated] Drops the XMLIndex on the XML DB repository
MOVEXDB_TABLESPACE Procedure	Moves the XDB (user) to the specified tablespace
REBUILDHIERARCHICALINDEX Procedure	Rebuilds the hierarchical index after import or export operations
XMLINDEXADDPATH Procedure	[Deprecated] Takes a path in XML DB repository as an input and index all the resources under this given path
XMLINDEXREMOVEPATH Procedure	[Deprecated] Removes the index for the given path

CREATEREPOSITORYXMLINDEX Procedure

Note:

This procedure is deprecated in Release 11g.

This procedure creates an XMLIndex on the XML DB repository.

Syntax

DBMS_XDB_ADMIN.CREATEREPOSITORYXMLINDEX;

DROPREPOSITORYXMLINDEX Procedure

Note:

This procedure is deprecated in Release 11g.

This procedure drops the XMLIndex on the XML DB repository.

Syntax

DBMS_XDB_ADMIN.DROPREPOSITORYXMLINDEX;

MOVEXDB_TABLESPACE Procedure

This procedure moves the XDB (user) to the specified tablespace.

Syntax

DBMS_XDB.MOVEXDB_TABLESPACE(
   new_tablespace   IN  VARCHAR2);

Parameters

Table 164-2 MOVEXDB_TABLESPACE Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
`new_tablespace`	Name of the tablespace to where the XDB is moved

Usage Notes

This operation waits for all concurrent XDB sessions to exit.
If MOVEXDB_TABLESPACE fails, the user should restart the database before issuing any further command.Failure to do so will result into unexpected behavior from the database.

REBUILDHIERARCHICALINDEX Procedure

This procedure rebuilds the hierarchical index after import or export operations. This is necessary because data cannot be exported from index tables.

Syntax

DBMS_XDB.REBUILDHIERARCHICALINDEX;

XMLINDEXADDPATH Procedure

Note:

This procedure is deprecated in Release 11g.

This procedure adds to the repository xmlindex the resource identified by path (when recurse is FALSE) or adds to the repository xmlindex the sub-tree of resources rooted at path (when recurse is TRUE). The default value for recurse is TRUE.

Syntax

DBMS_XDB_ADMIN.XMLINDEXADDPATH(
   path         IN  VARCHAR2, 
   recurse      IN  BOOLEAN);

Parameters

Table 164-3 XMLINDEXADDPATH Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
`path`	Path to a resource
`recurse`	`TRUE` or `FALSE`

XMLINDEXREMOVEPATH Procedure

Note:

This procedure is deprecated in Release 11g.

This procedure removes from the repository xmlindex the resource identified by path (when recurse is FALSE) or removes from the repository xmlindex the sub-tree of resources rooted at path (when recurse is TRUE). The default value for recurse is TRUE.

Syntax

DBMS_XDB_ADMIN.XMLINDEXREMOVEPATH(
   path              IN  VARCHAR2, 
   isrecursive       IN  BOOLEAN);

Parameters

Table 164-4 XMLINDEXREMOVEPATH Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
`path`	Path to a resource
`recurse`	`TRUE` or `FALSE`
