[MarkLogic Dev General] int vs integer

[Danny Sokolsky]

Hi Mike,

Yes, it is the xml type xs:int.  If you define such a range index on an
element (or attribute), the rule is that you need to be able to cast the
value to an xs:int, otherwise it will throw an exception when you try to
load it (or it will log an error when you reindex).  The same for other
types.

I am not sure what the actual ranges for an int are off the top of my
head.

When creating range indexes, you have a choice of int vs. long (among 
other types).  Am I correct in thinking that "int" maps to xs:int (which

is specified as -32768 to 32767)?  Or is it really machine "int" (32 or 
64)? What happens if an id (say) is outside that range?  Does it 
generate an error?
