Hi Graydon,

It’s sufficient to supply the directory path as second argument:

db:create('db', '/path')

If you want to filter the input paths before passing them on to db:create, you can supply the paths as both inputs and database paths:

let $files := file:descendants('/path') [file:is-file(.)] [contains(file:read-text(.), 'abalaba')] return db:create('db', $files, $files)

Best, Christian

Hello --

An approach that uses db:create and file:descendant doesn't seem to work; the file paths have all been truncated to the name part of the path in the document-uri property of the individual documents in the DB.

I'm using 9.6.4 with Oracle Java 1.8.0_211 on a Windows 10 machine. (I have no control over any of the environment.)

Is there a way to keep the full path (relative or absolute) in the document uri property? I'm trying to inspect files with identical names in different directories, so I need the directory name to tell the files apart.

Thanks! Graydon
