It can be called in sequence to feed group of documents that share a common document ID and the result is similar to the single call whose <span class="computeroutput">text_or_xml</span> parameter is concatenation of documents of that group. It is even allowed to mix XML and non-XML documents by feeding an XML document and some text documents: the first document to feed may be an XML document, other documents should be only texts.</p> <p> If one wishes to mix XML and non-XML documents, knowledge of details of the indexing method is needed. <span class="computeroutput">vt_batch_feed</span> assigns a sequence number to every word of the provided document using an internal counter. The call of <span class="computeroutput">vt_batch_d_id</span> not only sets document id but also resets this counter to 0. The first element of an XML document should have number 0 so it is impossible to feed an XML document if there were other calls of <span class="computeroutput">vt_batch_feed</span> after the last <span class="computeroutput">vt_batch_d_id</span>. Moreover, <span class="computeroutput">xcontains</span> will ignore words from text documents that were fed after the first XML document, only <span class="computeroutput">contains</span> will use all data.</p> </div> <div class="refsect1"> <div class="refsect1title">Parameters</div> <div class="refsect2"> <span class="refsect2title">vt_batch – </span> must be an object returned by <span class="computeroutput">vt_batch</span> on which <span class="computeroutput">vt_batch_d_id</span> has been called; e.g. it can be called inside the index hook function</div> <div class="refsect2"> <span class="refsect2title">text_or_xml – </span> must be a blob, wide blob, varchar, nvarchar or XML entity object.</div> <div class="refsect2"> <span class="refsect2title">is_del – </span> if 0 means that the data is to be added, 1 means the data is to be deleted.</div> <div class="refsect2"> <span class="refsect2title">is_xml – </span> if 1, means that the <span class="computeroutput">text_or_xml</span> must be a well formed XML fragment and that it will be indexed for use with <span class="computeroutput">xcontains</span>.
