XQuery changes from 7.6 to 7.7
I am finding strange problems when I try using 7.7 which didn't appear before. I was building queries with XQUERY followed by \n and then the query, which worked in 7.6. XQUERY <Documents> { for $doc in collection('oscrtest/documents/Photograph')/Document order by $doc/Header/TimeStamp descending return $doc } </Documents> Now it warns me about the syntax of my query: "Syntax: XQUERY [query]" So then I take away the \n so that the query begins after "XQUERY " and my query becomes: XQUERY <Documents> { for $doc in collection('oscrtest/documents/Photograph')/Document order by $doc/Header/TimeStamp descending return $doc } </Documents> upon which it reports: "[XPST0003] Expecting closing tag </Documents>." Puzzling about why this happens, I adjust the query to: XQUERY <Documents>{ for $doc in collection('oscrtest/documents/Photograph')/Document order by $doc/Header/TimeStamp descending return $doc }</Documents> but then it reports: "[XPST0003] Expecting expression." I will have to stick to 7.6 until I understand what to do about these problems.

Hi Gerald, have you been defining your commands in a BaseX command script? In that case, you’ll now have to specify your queries in a single line or (better) use the XML syntax for multi-line queries, which could e.g. read as follows: <xquery><![CDATA[ <Documents>{ for $doc in collection('oscrtest/documents/Photograph')/Document order by $doc/Header/TimeStamp descending return $doc }</Documents> ]]></xquery> Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________ 2013/8/17 Gerald de Jong <gerald@delving.eu>:

Ah yes, thank you Christian. The XML syntax was what I was missing. Now I just wrap my query like this: '<xquery><![CDATA[\n'+query+'\n]]></xquery>' On Sun, Aug 18, 2013 at 12:55 AM, Christian Grün <christian.gruen@gmail.com>wrote:
