To expand just a tiny bit on what Danny said.
In MarkLogic Server 3.2, only one dialect of
XQuery is available. It's based on the May 2003
Working Draft. In 3.2, the syntax for declaring
the XQuery version is recognized (with no semi-colon),
but the actual value is ignored. It's always the
May 2003 dialect, no matter what you declare.
In Mark Logic Server 4.0, there are three dialects
available and the version value you provide must
match one of those three. So even though you declared
that you wanted XQuery version "1.0", you still got
3.2's "0.9-ml" version which does not recognize the
newer module namespace declaration syntax.

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.

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
