Could someone please tell me how can I find out whether a collection name using API for Java is already available in the tamino database or not

Thank you

Package: com.softwareag.tamino.db.API.accessor

Interfaces: TSchemaDefinition3Accessor

Method: getCollectionNames()
Gets an iterator for the list of all collection names referenced by TSD2 schemas.

can any one tell me how can i create a collection using tamino API dynamically

Hi Nagesh,
You can use code like this to define a schema. If the schema definition contains a new Collection name, the new Collection will be defined in Tamino.

TConnectionFactory connectionFactory = TConnectionFactory.getInstance();
connection = connectionFactory.newConnection( databaseURI );
accessor = connection.newSchemaDefinition3Accessor(TDOMObjectModel.getInstance());
//content is a String containing your new Schema, perhaps read from a file...
xmlObject = TXMLObject.newInstance(content); 
TResponse response = accessor.define(xmlObject);
System.out.println("Response: " + response.getReturnValue());

Hi Bill,

Thank you very much for the help, i have tried and it worked fine.

I have one more doubt regarding API, i can get document (xml instance in tamino collection) properties (i.e., last modified) using TResponse.getFirstXMLObject().getLastModified()
So my question is can i add new properties (user defined) and get them using API.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a collection with in a tamino collection? if so, how will i use tamino API to get sub-collection information?

Thanks in Advance,
Nagesh.

Hello Nagesh,
Tamino has a flat collection model.
You cannot nest collections.

Best regards
Walter

Regarding API, i can get document properties (i.e., last modified) using TResponse.getFirstXMLObject().getLastModified()

Hi Nagesh,

Basically, there is no provision known so far in Tamino to define “user defined” properties.
