Transferring Partitions between Databases
You can move a partition from one database to another. For example, to transfer the 2011 range partition from the DB1 database to the DB2 database, use this code:
$ cat transfer-partition.xml <transfer xmlns="http://marklogic.com/manage"> <destination-database>DB2</destination-database> </transfer>
$ curl --anyauth --user user:password -X PUT \ -d @transfer-partition.xml -H 'Content-type: application/xml' \ http://MyHost:8002/manage/v2/databases/DB1/partitions/2011
