I have currently installed a version of MonetDB XQuery for Linux and want to bulkload data like this: http://monetdb.cwi.nl/XQuery/Documentation/Bulk-Loading-a-Collection.html#Bu... For that purpose, I used the following command inside the Client: for $d in doc("/monetdbfiles.xml")//doc return pf:add-doc(fn:concat($d/@path,$d/@name), fn:string($d/@name), "abap10k", 0) <> It references the following, definitely existing XML file: <dir> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CCDEF"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CCIMP"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CCMAC"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CI"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CM001"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CM002"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CM003"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CM004"> <doc path="/home/epic/tarari_svn/benchmarks/abap/ABAP/" name="ACL_AUNIT_RESULT==============CM005"> </dir> But unfortunately an error is thrown (I also tried it unter Windows and it was the same): MAPI = root@localhost:50000 QUERY = for $d in doc("/monetdbfiles.xml")//doc ERROR = !ERROR: err:FODC0002, Error retrieving resource (no such document "/monetdbfiles.xml"). What could be the reason for that?
