Hi Hans-Jürgen,
It feels a bit clumsy, but adding a prefixed attribute and removing it again
should do the job:
let $xml := doc('x.xml')
let $updated := $xml update {
insert node <a xmlns:prefix='URI' prefix:attr=''/>/@* into *
} update {
delete node */@attr
}
return ($updated, base-uri($updated))
Best,
Christian

Betreff: Re: AW: [basex-talk] Add namespace bindings via copy/modify/return
Thank you, Christian! The problem is that this way I lose the base URI! The
only way how to retain it which I am aware of would be the insertion of
@xml:base, but this amounts to a change of the document I may not be authorized
to do by the context.
Is there any way how to change a document (as modified copy, not via
copy/modify/return) and retain or control the base URI of the result, without
inserting @xml:base?
Kind regards,
Hans-Jürgen

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
