[Monetdb-developers] multiple XQuery statements in one xq file
Dear Sjoerd or other developers, Could you please change the "MapiClient -lx" protocol such that the end of query does not coincide with end-of-file? We would like to provide little XQuery scripts with multiple XQuery statements, but of course I cannot put the end-of-file mark into that file without ending the file (well, you know what I mean). Any end-of-query marker will do, but ';' would be prefered I guess, to stay in line with Mil and SQL. For instance (Similar to having multiple SQL insert statements): pf:add-doc("http://www.utwente.nl/a1.xml", "a1.xml"); pf:add-doc("http://www.utwente.nl/a2.xml", "a2.xml"); pf:add-doc("http://www.utwente.nl/a3.xml", "a3.xml"); I know I can do this in one transaction, but I do not want to. Best, Djoerd.

JdbcClient used to use this "statement separator", but in XQuery it is not correct, as ; is used in XQuery itself. Wouter and Jens probably can easily come up with an example of ; being not correct.

I believe Peter implemented something like <> as separator, but I'm not sure on that one.
a function would be the counterexample: declare function x() as node { () }; x() myXQ, wouter -----Original Message----- From: monetdb-developers-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:monetdb-developers-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Fabian Groffen Sent: vrijdag 13 april 2007 12:44 To: monetdb-developers@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Monetdb-developers] multiple XQuery statements in one xq file On 13-04-2007 12:33:09 +0200, Djoerd Hiemstra wrote:

This is correct. You can use <> at the start of a line as separator, but only in XQuery mode. -- Sjoerd Mullender

Are you using the development version? Did you update? Especially clients in this case. -- Sjoerd Mullender

My clients version was stone-age-like 1.5 week old. I updated and now it works:-) Thanks, JanF.
