xdmp:document-delete( $uri as xs:string ) as empty-sequence()
Summary
Deletes a document from the database.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| uri | The URI of the document to be deleted. |
Usage Notes
The xdmp:document-delete function deletes
a document and all of its properties, except, when
directory-creation is set to automatic or
manual-enforced, the directory property; it does
not delete a directory with the same URI as the document being deleted unless
directory-creation is set to manual.
To delete a directory, use the xdmp:directory-delete function.
If a document does not exist at the specified URI,
xdmp:document-delete throws an error.
Example
xdmp:document-delete("example.xml")
