Hi Henry,
When I use BDB XML shell,
are there any command can list all container or xml
document which in database,
maybe like command dir(in windows), can list all
exist directory and file.If you type "help" in the dbxml shell you'll get a list of all the commands available. As you will observe, you can use the "getDocuments" command to retrieve all the documents within a container. You will have to open the container first.
If you want to list all the files within a directory you'll need to simply use the command prompt's "dir" (naming all your containers within a directory in the <container_name.dbxml> would allow you get the list by running a "dir *.dbxml" command).
Not sure that this is what you really want, but if you would like to keep track of all the containers within a directory, or other directories, you can use a container with a special role, that of a catalogue, to hold the list of all created containers on disk, and eventually other specific information.
