Hi Hans-Jürgen,
The insertion of namespace nodes has not been defined in the XQuery Update
spec. You may need choose the classic element constructor for that:
let $doc := <doc><a/></doc>
return element { node-name($doc) } {
$doc/@*,
namespace xyz { 'https://basex.org/ns' },
$doc/node()
}
Hope this helps,
Christian

Betreff: [basex-talk] Add namespace bindings via copy/modify/return
Dear BaseX people,
I cannot use copy/modify/return in order to add a namespacing:
let $doc := <doc><a/></doc>
return
copy $doc_ := $doc
modify
insert node namespace xyz {'https://basex.org/ns'} into $doc_
return $doc_
=>
<doc>
<a/>
</doc>
Is this a bug?
Kind regards,
Hans-Jürgen
