that's interesting. what's item in this example, and how can it be
referenced?
thanks,

On top of the query (in the query prolog), you can bind your database
to the context. After that, there’ll be no need to bind it to a
variable:
declare context item := db:open("com.w3schools.books");
/bookstore

nevermind, it's:
let $db := db:open("com.w3schools.books")
return $db/bookstore
I thought it was unusual because of db:open.

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 "/"?
