Hi Eric, This is a difference between the May 2003 XQuery syntax and the XQuery 1.0 recommendation syntax. MarkLogic Server 3.2 supports the May 2003, and MarkLogic 4.0 supports the XQuery 1.0 recommendation (as well as the May 2003 in with xquery version "0.9-ml" in the XQuery declaration). So if you are using 3.2 or 4.0 in compatibility mode, your module starts like this:
xquery version "0.9-ml" module "http://blah/session"; declare namespace session = "http://blah/session"; If you are using 4.0: xquery version "1.0-ml"; module namespace session = "http://blah/session";; In 4.0, if your module starts with: xquery version "1.0"; it indicates that the module is in strict mode. For more details on the three XQuery dialects in 4.0, see the 4.0 XQuery Reference Guide (http://developer.marklogic.com/pubs/4.0/books/xquery.pdf). Note that if your modules are in the 3.2 style (May 2003), they should start with the following xquery declaration (*not* "1.0"): xquery version "0.9-ml" This will ensure that, when this code is run in 4.0, the module is parsed using the May 2003 syntax. -Danny -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Palmitesta Sent: Monday, October 20, 2008 2:49 PM To: ML Developer Mailing List Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] module declaration boilerplate All my modules start off with this boilerplate: module "http://blah/session"; declare namespace session = "http://blah/session"; In the 2nd last page of the XQuery Style Guide http://xqdoc.org/xquery-style.pdf, I see this... module namespace math = "http://xqdoc.org/sample-math-lib";; ...which looks like it compresses two lines into one. When I try this, I get "XDMP-UNEXPECTED: Unexpected token syntax error, unexpected QName_, expecting $end". What am I missing? Both their module and mine start with: xquery version "1.0" Cheers, Eric _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://xqzone.com/mailman/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [email protected] http://xqzone.com/mailman/listinfo/general
