Hi all,
From
http://exist.sourceforge.net/xquery.html, I learnt that
"eXist's XQuery processor does currently not support the schema import and schema validation features defined as optional in the XQuery specification. The database does not store type information along with the nodes."
I would like to understand how xs:dateTime data are stored in the database, in order to make a wise decision on whether I should use milliseconds (after 1970-01-01) or it doesn't make a difference if I insert, say, '2008-05-12T20:00:00+00:00', for some data with type xs:dateTime to the eXist database.
So my question is, how data are stored internally in eXist, if the database does not store type information along? Are the data all treated as strings (such that storing '2008-05-12T20:00:00+00:00' is taking up more than double of bytes than storing milliseconds after 1970-01-01?)
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
