[basex-talk] simplest possible FLOWR specifying a database

[thufir]

these FLWOR .xq files work as is:

let $db := db:open("com.w3schools.books")
for $x in $db/bookstore
return $x

or

<new_catalog>{
let $db := db:open("com.w3schools.books")
for $x in $db/bookstore/book
return <new_book>{$x/title,$x/author}</new_book>
}</new_catalog>


Probably a silly question, but, rather than, as in the first query, 
using $x can I not somehow specify just "/"?



thanks,
