Hi Leo, > I thought the function local-name() produces an output without namespace > binding? Can anyone explain?
You are completely right. The problem is that your original document uses the default namespace "http://www.mygym.com";, and your query uses "http://www.gym.com";. In other words, the error is raised because the namespace binding of your target name conflicts with the existing namespace binding. Here is a recursive approach to change the default namespace of a document: ______________________________________ declare function local:update($root as node(), $ns as xs:string) { if($root instance of element()) then ( element { QName($ns, local-name($root)) } { $root/@*, for $node in $root/node() return local:update($node, $ns) } ) else ( $root ) }; let $ns := 'http://www.gym.com' let $root := doc("FitnessCenter.xml")/* let $updated := local:update($root, $ns) return replace node $root with $updated ______________________________________ Hope this helps, Christian On Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 12:10 PM, Leo Studer <leo.stu...@varioweb.ch> wrote: > Hello > > I use the following query with Saxon-EE xQuery 9.5.1.5 in Oxygen. > > for $i in doc('FitnessCenter.xml')//* > return rename node $i as QName('http://www.gym.com', local-name($i)) > > > on the following file: > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> > <FitnessCenter xmlns="http://www.mygym.com";> > <Member Level="platinum"> > <Name>Jeff</Name> > <FavoriteColor>lightgrey</FavoriteColor> > </Member> > <Member Level="gold"> > <Name>David</Name> > <FavoriteColor>lightblue</FavoriteColor> > </Member> > </FitnessCenter> > > and get the following error: new name conflicts with existing namespace > binding > > > I thought the function local-name() produces an output without namespace > binding?
