Using MarkLogic Content Pump (mlcp)

When creating XML documents, each document has a root node of <root> and child elements with names corresponding to each column title. You can override the default root element name using the -delimited_root_name option. You can use the -namespace option to specify a root namespace.

The following example produces documents with root element <person> in the namespace http://my.namespace.

$ mlcp.sh ... -mode local -input_file_path /space/mlcp/data \
    -input_file_type delimited_text -namespace http://my.namespace \
    -delimited_root_name person
...
<person xmlns="http://my.namespace">
  <first>george</first>
  <last>washington</last>
</person>
...
