Your example shows that it's possible to have one nested query inside another one. But it doesn't show that you may have sibling nested queries.
as far as I remember, you can have only one child (nested query), but that child can have one child too and so on. you can't have this: <page xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"> <execute-query xmlns="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"> <query name="department" > select id,name from department_table </query> <execute-query> <query name="employee"> select id,name from employee_table where department_id = <ancestor-value sql:name="id" sql:level="1"/> </query> </execute-query> <execute-query> <query name="employee1"> select id,name from employee_table where department_id = <ancestor-value sql:name="id" sql:level="1"/> </query> </execute-query> </execute-query> </page> > I've to correct me on this one. My short looks into the source > were obviously not enough ... > > This example is taken from > http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/userdocs/transformers/sql-transfo rmer.html <example> <page xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"> <execute-query xmlns="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0"> <query name="department" > select id,name from department_table </query> <execute-query> <query name="employee"> select id,name from employee_table where department_id = <ancestor-value sql:name="id" sql:level="1"/> </query> </execute-query> </execute-query> </page> </example> So according to the user docs this *is* possible.
