Subject: [xsl] Count - via database or xsl From: "Mark Williams" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2004 09:17:53 -0000 |
Hi, We pass XML data to an XSLT stylesheet, sometimes the XML data can be quite large will contain repeating data from a detail table. Occasionally we may need to test the size of the repeating data outside of a for-each statement, by requesting a count of the child nodes. What we will usually want to know is whether there are 0 nodes although sometimes we may need to know the actual number of the count if there are more. As the data is being passed via a database to the xml file, I have assumed it would be much quicker for the database to do the count for us. Is this a correct assumption? Is the xslt count a lot slower than an efficient database application in this respect? TIA Mark Williams XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
