If you put all the possible namespace declarations on the root element they wont repeat in child elements. like this
xquery version "1.0-ml"; declare namespace ns1="http://mycompany.com/hello/1";; declare namespace ns2="http://mycompany.com/hi/2";; declare namespace ns3="http://mycompany.com/data/3";; <ns1:row xmlns:ns2="http://mycompany.com/hi/2"; xmlns:ns3="http://mycompany.com/data/3";> {for $out in 1 to 3 return element ns2:column { element ns3:data{string("I am that I am")}} } </ns1:row> == <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ns1:row xmlns:ns2="http://mycompany.com/hi/2"; xmlns:ns3="http://mycompany.com/data/3"; xmlns:ns1="http://mycompany.com/hello/1";> <ns2:column> <ns3:data>I am that I am</ns3:data> </ns2:column> <ns2:column> <ns3:data>I am that I am</ns3:data> </ns2:column> <ns2:column> <ns3:data>I am that I am</ns3:data> </ns2:column> </ns1:row> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Lee Lead Engineer MarkLogic Corporation [email protected] Phone: +1 650-287-2531 Cell: +1 812-630-7622 www.marklogic.com This e-mail and any accompanying attachments are confidential.
