Great! Now I'm able to create a perfectly clean and customised xml result freely using @codeListValue, /text(), string(), etc. I've also added string handling so I already have the name of the collection: <collection name="{substring-before(base-uri($x),'/')}">
Thank you Marco!
With kind regards, Menashè

Maybe something like:
for $x in db:open('mydb) return
<collection path="{base-uri($x)}"> {$x} </collection>
optionally, if you want everything included to become a unique XML element:
<global>{ for $x in db:open('mydb) return
<collection path="{base-uri($x)}"> {$x} </collection> }</global>
Hope I understood your question correctly... M.

Hi Menashè,
BaseX 8.0 and later uses the "adaptive" serialization as default [1]; maybe this gives you the freedom you need? If not, please provide us with a little example of how you would like the input to be formatted.
Best, Christian

Hello, I need xquery reply which is composed of multiple values. I've chosen the xml format, but I need also the collection name of each record since I'm searching in multiple collections. However for parsing the entire reply as xml I need to add an arbitrary xml tag to base-uri($x). I couldn't find a way to do it. Any ideas?
Background: I've tried first the JSON format as output:method, however it cannot be used for more than one record. I've tried text format, but I need an attribute and I get: @codeListValue cannot be serialised So, xml format provides me the option to query the attribute, even though the reply length is bigger.
I'm using BaseX 8 beta.
