op:unnest-inner

op:unnest-inner(
   $plan as map:map,
   $inputColumn as item(),
   $valueColumn as item(),
   [$ordinalColumn as item()?]
) as map:map

Summary

This function flattens an array value into multiple rows.Then performs a op:join-inner on the rest of the rows.

Parameters
$plan	The Optic Plan. You can either use the XQuery => chaining operator or specify the variable that captures the return value from the previous operation.
$inputColumn	The input column, which contains an array, to flatten into rows. This can be a string of the column name or an op:col. Use op:view-col or op:schema-col if you need to identify columns in the two views that have the same column name.
$valueColumn	The output column which contains the flattened array values. This can be a string of the column name or an op:col. Use op:view-col or op:schema-col as needed.
$ordinalColumn	The ordinalColumn is optional. If specified, an additional column will be added to the rows of flattened array values, starting from 1. This can be a string of the column name or an op:col. Use op:view-col or op:schema-col as needed.

Example

xquery version "1.0-ml";

import module namespace op="http://marklogic.com/optic"
     at "/MarkLogic/optic.xqy";

import module namespace ofn="http://marklogic.com/optic/expression/fn"
     at "/MarkLogic/optic/optic-fn.xqy";

op:from-view("unnestSchema", "unnestView")
   => op:bind((
       op:as("teamMemberSequence",  ofn:tokenize(op:col("teamMembers"),  ","))
       ))
   => op:unnest-inner('teamMemberSequence','teamMember', 'ordinality')
   => op:order-by(('department', 'ordinality'))
   => op:result()

(: This returns
[{"unnestSchema.unnestView.department":"Engineering","teamMemberSequence":["Bob","Alice"],"unnestSchema.unnestView.teamMembers":"Bob,Alice","teamMember":"Bob","ordinality":1},
{"unnestSchema.unnestView.department":"Engineering","teamMemberSequence":["Bob","Alice"],"unnestSchema.unnestView.teamMembers":"Bob,Alice","teamMember":"Alice","ordinality":2},
{"unnestSchema.unnestView.department":"Sales","teamMemberSequence":["Robert","Cindy"],"unnestSchema.unnestView.teamMembers":"Robert,Cindy","teamMember":"Robert","ordinality":1},
{"unnestSchema.unnestView.department":"Sales","teamMemberSequence":["Robert","Cindy"],"unnestSchema.unnestView.teamMembers":"Robert,Cindy","teamMember":"Cindy","ordinality":2}]
