Hi Stefan,
thanks for your quick reply!
Regarding fn:collection I'll just wait for the next release of MonetDB/XQuery. But as pf:collection should be faster, I'm going to favor this approach anyway.

My second question is that I cannot execute this kind of queries, which runs well in eXist and Sedna:
<average> { fn:round(fn:avg( for $doc in fn:collection("samples") return $doc/example/@sum )) } </average>
For MonetDB/XQuery I have to pull out pf:collection and add a second return statement:
let $col := pf:collection("samples")/child::document-node() return <average> { fn:round(fn:avg( for $doc in $col return $doc/example/@sum )) } </average>
Why can't you use "pf:collection("samples")/child::document-node()" in the for loop? Do you get any error? If so which?
When I use pf:collection in the for loop, I get this output:
xquery><average> { more>fn:round(fn:avg( more>for $doc in pf:collection("samples")/child::document-node() more>return $doc/example/@sum more>)) } </average> more><> MAPI = monetdb@localhost:50000 QUERY = <average> { ERROR = !parse error: syntax error, unexpected /, expecting QName on line 5, column 9 (next token is `/') !parse error: XQuery parsing failed xquery>
The expected result is "<average>12345</average>" like it is in eXist and Sedna.
wouldn't <average> { fn:round(fn:avg( pf:collection("samples")//example/@sum )) } </average> do the same job? --- that compiles fine with me ... Stefan
Can you do anything with it? (Is the mentioned slash the one of the end-tag "</average>"? But even so, this is not column 9... and there is no further slash in this line...)
@Henning: For me pf:collection("samples")/child::document-node() works fine and gives me the same result as pf:collection("samples")// document-node().

Andreas Meinl
