Re: [basex-talk] Individual docs from collection

Hi Sateesh,

I have created a collection with 10k xml files and now on that collection I want to write query on few xml's only .could you please suggest how this functionality is achieved.

Thanks & Regards Sateesh.A

what I always do is use an XQuery that selects the documents by some criterium, then process them further, e.g.

for $doc in collection('foo')/rootelement[@type='selectedtype'] let $name := $doc/name (: f.i.: ) etc...

or if you want you can assign the docs to a variable (handy if you want to process the set multiple times f.i.):

let $docs := collection('foo')/rootelement[@type='selectedtype']
