In this post, we dive into building a full five-card draw poker game with a configurable number of players. Written in XQuery 1.0, along with MarkLogic extensions to the language, this game provides examples of some great programming capabilities, including usage of maps, recursions, random numbers, and side effects. Hopefully, we will show those new to XQuery a look at the language that they may not get to see in other tutorials or examples.

Apache NiFi introduces a code-free approach of migrating content directly from a relational database system into MarkLogic. Here we walk you through getting started with migrating data from a relational database into MarkLogic

Learn techniques to avoid deadlocks caused when one update nests another update in a separate transactional context and the deadlock happens between the two updates.

Aggregates like count and sum are heavily used in RDBMS. For people learning MarkLogic, the first match for the same set of functions (fn:count, cts:count, fn:sum, cts:sum) are generally not the right choice. Let’s take a look at their lexicon-driven counterparts.

This tour will help you manage the complexity of the cts API, breaking down its 217 functions into distinct categories and identifying consistent patterns in the cts function naming conventions.
