[MarkLogic Dev General] Next character according to a collation

[Danny Sokolsky]

Hmmm, I can't think of a way to exactly do this.  But for any given character, you can use > or < in a Boolean statement to figure out if a character is before or after.  For example:

xquery version "1.0-ml";

declare default collation "http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S1/AS/T00BB";

"z" > "Z"

=> false

If you are clever, you can probably do some sort of binary search to narrow down the next character in a few handfuls of comparisons.

Hi,

I would like to know how to determine the next character according to a
particular collation. E.g., what comes immediately after "z" in
collation http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S1/AS/T00BB ?
