Hi,

I believe, you slightly misunderstand these things.

Compared to a relational database, compare these:


  • database <=> database
  • collection <=> schema
  • schema <=> No equivalence, think of it
    as a set of tables
  • document type <=> table

Note the hierarchy!

In other words: If your “tables” are related (most probably they are!), it is quite likely,
that you want to have them in the same collection. It is, of course, possible, to
combine documents from various collections into
a single query. However, it is a little bit
more complex and possibly also slower, because
of the additional overhead.

Hi

using nodeRef is possible, but using XQuery-based join functionality is much more flexible and should be the preferred way of solving such an issue.
