A common DTD in DB XML
637288Aug 3 2009 — edited Aug 3 2009Hi,
1) I have a bunch of XML files that are using a number of entities that are defined in some DTD. Is it possible to set this DTD "container-visible", but not include a reference to it in every document?
2) Does DB XML perform caching of external DTDs? Fetching the same external DTD for every document might be somewhat expensive.
As a side-effect question: if I use my own XmlResolver and resolve for example document doc(foo) to let's say collection()/<Some_XPath_expression>, and then use this doc(foo) in XQuery, will DB XML benefit from indices. I.e. will it be different in terms of effiency from the variant where I use only collection()/<Some_XPath_expression> ?
Thanks in advance,
Vyacheslav
