string property

mdex:string properties represent character strings.

An mdex:string property represents variable-length character strings. The characters should conform to the specification for valid XML characters, as described in the W3C XML document at this URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets

Keep in mind that mdex:string is the default property data type. That is, if you do not explicitly specify the property type when creating a standard attribute, then mdex:string will be used as the property type of the Dgraph record for that attribute.

Example of ingesting string properties

This example shows how to use string property types for record assignments:
<ingest:ingestRecords 
      xmlns:ingest="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/ingest/1/0" 
      xmlns:mdex="http://www.endeca.com/MDEX/XQuery/2009/09">
   <ingest:addAssignments>
      <mdex:record>
         <FactSalesID>568</FactSalesID>
         <Description type="mdex:string">winter tights</Description>
      </mdex:record>
   </ingest:addAssignments>
</ingest:ingestRecords>
