INTRODUCTION
ExistDB allows the creation of collections. It only has one database that can hold
various collections. The Collections can hold xml documents. In Exist to find the
path to your database document the syntax goes by the following doc(’/db/path’)

doc('/db/economia/empresa.xml')

Update Statements In ExistDB


Insert - One or various nodes into one or more various
nodes

update insert (nodeAInserir | seqüènciaNodes)


(into | following | preceding) onInserir

EXISTdB Database 1
In case of sequence of nodes, each must go between parenthesis separated by
commas.

Insert - One or various attributes into one or more


nodes

update insert (attribute nomAtribut {'valor'},...)


(into | following | preceding) onInserir

The claus following and preceding are used to place attributes after and before a
specified attribute

Insert - One or more Nodes and Attributes into one or


moe nodes

update insert (seqüènciaAtributs, seqüènciaNodes)


(into | following | preceding) onInserir

The attributes must be inserted before the nodes. Sedna controls them but
❗
existdb doesn’t. So the order should be followed! The preceding and following
seems to not work so its better to use into

Rename - Rename a node or attribute

update rename nodeOAtributAReanomenar as 'nouNom'


o també

EXISTdB Database 2
for $n in nodeOAtributAReanomenar
return update rename $n as 'nouNom'

Replace Value - Substitute The Value Of


Nodes/Attributes

update value nodeOAtribut with 'nouValor'


o també
for $n in nodeOAtributAReanomenar
return update value $n with 'nouValor'

Replace - Nodes/Attributes
update replace nodeOAtribut with nouNodeONouAtribut
o també
for $n in nodeOAtributAReanomenar
return update replace $n with nouNodeONouAtribu

To indicate the new attribute, follow the rule indicated in the INSERT statement. In
eXist-db 2.0-5.2., replacing an attribute only replaces the content and not the
name of the attribute. Error maybe fixed in later versions

Delete - Delete nodes/attributes

update delete nodeOAtributAEliminar

EXISTdB Database 3
