I'll then try the xrpc requests... is there a way to delete a collection in the database? (deleting documents one by one in a given collection is quite fastidious) and a way to delete a database created by the command Mserver --dbname=<...> ? (the only way i found was to physically delete directories with that same name) Thanks, francois. 2009/2/23 Martin Kersten :

Hi, I am about to develop an app using monetdb and its xquery part. My app will essentially be made of perl code. But it seems that perl is only used in monetdb's sql part, isn't? like using sql statements to access arrays and rows, but there's no way to access xml collections.

Am i right or haven't i read enough of monetdb's documentation?

You are right. The PHP, Perl, JDBC application interfacing to the XML/XQuery part is less developed.

Thanks a lot,
