Re: [basex-talk] simplest possible FLOWR specifying a database

nevermind, it's: let $db := db:open("com.w3schools.books") return $db/bookstore I thought it was unusual because of db:open. -Thufir On 2019-10-12 12:50 a.m., thufir wrote:

these FLWOR .xq files work as is:

let $db := db:open("com.w3schools.books") for $x in $db/bookstore return $x

or

<new_catalog>{ let $db := db:open("com.w3schools.books") for $x in $db/bookstore/book return <new_book>{$x/title,$x/author}</new_book> }</new_catalog>

Probably a silly question, but, rather than, as in the first query, using $x can I not somehow specify just "/"?

thanks,
