Will path-range-index added to parent element also results for child element?

Consider that following is a part of XML data:

<Author>
   <Level1>Justice</OrganizationLevel1>
   <Level2>National Justice</OrganizationLevel2>
   <URL>http://www.usdoj.gov</URL>
</Author>
<Editor>
   <Level1>Association</OrganizationLevel1>
   <Level2>Films for Sciences</OrganizationLevel2>
   <URL>http://www.films.com</URL>
</Editor>

If a path-range-index is added to Editor (parent) element in ML6 will its child-element also reflect this path-range-index.

Can anyone explain this??

Thanks.

Solution

  • No; a path range index only indexes the node(s) identified by the specified xpath. If you need range indexes on the child-elements, then you'll need to specify path range indexes for each of them individually.
