MarkLogic Server allows you to group multiple databases into a super-database in order to allow a single query to be done across multiple databases. Databases contained in a super-database are called sub-databases. Sub-databases can be distributed on different storage tiers and on different clusters (collectively called super-clusters). A sub-database can be either active (online) or archive (offline), as specified by the kind element.
