[MarkLogic Dev General] no namespace and range index

Tue Oct 5 08:41:30 PDT 2010

Is it possible to create range index for xml without namespace?
I do not have namespace in xml, and I have no schema defined.

What do I specify in:
In ML Admin > Element range index > namespace uri
In ML Admin > Attribute range index > parent namespace uri and namespace uri
(I tried keeping it blank, which did not work)

For example say I need to create range index for pub element and dt attribute of the same for following:
<doc>
<type dt="1992-12-01">3000</type>
<city>new providence</city>
<body>xyz</body>
</doc>

Later I want to use constraint to create facet based on buckets
  <constraint name="doctypes">
    <range type="xs:int">
      <element ns=" " name="type"/>
	<bucket name="typeA"...

(fyi; If I have xmlns="http://a.com" in the xml and constraint with ns=" http://a.com" it works fine)

Thanks,
Mehul.
