We try to avoid XPath strings arguments whenever possible. Instead, simply use XQuery, which allows you to do all kinds of things. Example 1 (add one document per element): for $node at $pos in /gmd:MD_Metadata/..... return db:add('db', $pos || '.xml', $node) Example 2 (add single document): db:add('db', 'doc.xml', element xml { /gmd:MD_Metadata/..... }) Cheers, Christian
