XQuery to insert nodes in XML File
Dear Team, I am trying to insert few nodes in a XML File. But in reality the nodes are not inserting in the XML File!! Below is my query for $x in doc('C:\sample.xml')//CInfos return insert node <Info><Name>James Stuart</Name><Key>7709422869</Key></Info> as last into $x I tried with another query - insert node <Info> <Name>James Stuart</Name> <Key>7709422869</Key> </Info> as last into doc('C:\sample.xml')//CInfos This too not working If I create a XML DB and then it works... What am I missing? -- Have a nice day JBest
Hello John, All updates in BaseX are performed on database nodes or in main memory as specified by the XQuery Update spec. You are trying to update a document in the filesystem. You can update thr document in main mamory and afterwards store it using the fn:put function (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-update-10/#id-func-put).

This too not working

Hi John, there is one (pretty unknown) option called WRITEBACK [1], which can also be activated via -u on command line [2]; it ensures that changes will be written back to the original file.
