Description of BMS_XDBT

The DBMS_XDBT package provides a convenient mechanism for administrators to set up a ConText index on the Oracle XML DB Hierarchy. The package contains procedures to create default preferences, create the index and set up automatic synchronization of the context index

The DBMS_XDBT package also contains a set of package variables that describe the configuration settings for the index. These are intended to cover the basic customizations that installations may require, but is by no means a complete set.

The DBMS_XDBT package can be used in the following fashion:

• Customize the package to set up the appropriate configuration.
• Drop any existing index preferences using the dropPreferences() procedure.
• Create new index preferences using the createPreferences() procedure.
• Create the ConText index using the createIndex() procedure.
• Set up automatic synchronization of the index using the configureAutoSync() procedure.
