Method Detail

update

void update(java.lang.String updateStatement)
            throws XMLDBException

Execute an update statement against the Sedna database. Here you can use Sedna's update language or create something like a XQuery trigger. Unlike XPathQueryService and XQueryService, this method updates against the entire database. The syntax of the Sedna Update statement is not changed. One must be explicit with collection() and/or document() functions.

Parameters:

updateStatement - the statement to send to the server to perform an update.

Throws:

XMLDBException

Since:

Sedna XML:DB 1.0
