MarkLogic 10 Product Documentationcts functions (Lexicon)
MarkLogic Server allows you to create lexicons, which are lists of unique words or values, either throughout an entire database (words only) or within named elements or attributes (words or values). Also, you can define lexicons that allow quick access to the document and collection URIs in the database, and you can create word lexicons on named fields.
A word lexicon stores all of the unique, case-sensitive, diacritic-sensitive words, either in a database, in an element defined by a QName, or in an attribute defined by a QName. A value lexicon stores all of the unique values for an element or an attribute defined by a QName (that is, the entire and exact contents of the specified element or attribute). Value lexicons use range indexes, which store all of the pairs of values that appear in the same fragment. A geospatial lexicon returns geospatial values from the geospatial index. You can also use the value lexicon functions to calculate buckets of values that occur within a specified range of values. A URI lexicon stores the URIs of the documents in a database, and a collection lexicon stores the URIs of all collections in a database.
This section describes the lexicon APIs.
