[XQZone General] An extra for CQ users

[atownsen at wiley.co.uk]

Oh well - you shine something a little and as soon as you sit back you
notice a grubby spot.

The mod-rcq.xqy I sent out earlier had a glitch in the rcq:dir()
function.  The attached cures things.

Hi All,

Attached (assuming attachments make it through the re-mailer) is a little
piece of code I've put together to help me out with a couple of scenarios
that I thought might be of use and/or interest to other people.

The bottom line is that it is a "remote CQ module" - i.e. it lets you
execute queries from one Mark Logic server on a separate Mark Logic server
by using a CQ installation on the remote system as a query interface.  In a
way it gives you a sort of flavour of xdmp:eval-in() than will eval in a
whole different server, not just a different database (whether across the
room or 1000 miles away so long as its on the network).

I've found it useful in migrating from a server on one platform to another
and for confirming a query on one system does the same as a query on a
remote system but I'm sure there must be other funky uses, especially for
those lucky people who have more than one server instance.

If nothing else I thought it would be an illustration of the use of the
xdmp:http-get() and xdmp:http-post() that might be of interest to newer
users :-)

It's had "reasonable" but not "exhaustive" testing and I've tried to pretty
it up (though I've not used xqDoc on it as yet - sorry Darin).

The main code is in attachment "mod-rcq.xqy" - the other attachment,
"rcqdemo.xqy" shows some simple uses but will need configuring before use
in order to point it at an instance of CQ that you can access.  For all
other details there are reasonable comments, mostly in the top of
"mod-rcq.xqy"

All (hopefully polite) comments welcome.

Andy
