Hello Beatriz,

you can insert attributes like in the following example:
xquery insert node attribute name{'value'} into /target

for updating attribute values use the following:
xquery replace value of node //target/@name with 'value'

for renaming an attribute:
xquery rename node //target/@name as 'value'

If you want to update more nodes in one query, you have to call like this:
xquery for $node in //target return 'update function'

I hope this helps,
don't hesitate to ask for more.

Kind regards,
Andreas (BaseXTeam)

Hello,
I'm trying to update or create some attributes in a node.
żhow can i do that with BaseX?
This is my DTD:
<!ELEMENT SITUATION ((ROLES)?,(USERS)?,(GROUPS)?,(OBJECTS)?)>
<!ATTLIST SITUATION
id ID #REQUIRED
name CDATA #IMPLIED
desc CDATA #IMPLIED
start CDATA #IMPLIED
finish CDATA #IMPLIED>
category_scope (small | large | community | other) #IMPLIED
size_scope CDATA #IMPLIED
environment ( synchronous | asynchronous | face-to-face | blended | others) #IMPLIED
educational_level CDATA #IMPLIED
experience_level (none|elementary|advanced|expert) #IMPLIED>

and i want to update or create attributes in the SITUATION node. I have seen a function called insertAttributes but i don't know how to use it with baseX, with the prefix basex: it doesn't works... i am a little lost.
Could you help me, please?
