Hi Erol, Christian is on a well-deserved vacation, so you are stuck with me :) If you output to a file using file:write() the declaration will be of no use to you, as it only applies to the result of the query itself. To change the serialization options for file write, you can specifiy an optional third parameter to the function, please take a look at the documentation: - https://docs.basex.org/wiki/File_Module#file:write and - https://docs.basex.org/wiki/Serialization So in your case it will be something like file:write("yourfile", <root/>, <output:serialization-parameters> <output:omit-xml-declaration value='no'/> </output:serialization-parameters> ) Regarding your second issue I have no immediate clue. Could you please provide us with a SSCCE? Cheers, Dirk On 08/28/2013 05:28 PM, Erol Akarsu wrote:

Christian,

I am testing basex 7.7

I have xquery script that definition at top of file:

declare option output:omit-xml-declaration "no";

This script is writing xslx file in xml format after preparing it. It is writing with file:write function.

But I have 2 issues compared to basex 7.2

1 - I don't have this as first file of output xml file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

2 - Every row I create, I have empty name space declaration:

<Row xmlns="">

Can you help on this?
