Hi Frank, Appreciate the quick response.
Your solution assumes that $xmlNode1 & $xmlNode2 are literals; however this is not the case in my application, both these variable are initialized from documents stored in ML (using the document statement). In such a case I don't see how to apply your approach, unless I'm missing something. I'm sorry if my earlier code snippet was misleading.

I think this will give you what you're asking for: let $xmlNode1 := <chapters-source> <chapter>Chapter 1</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 2</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 3</chapter> </chapters-source> let $xmlNode2 := <chapters-destination> <chapter>Source Chapter 1</chapter> <chapter>Source Chapter 2</chapter> <chapter>Source Chapter 3</chapter> {$xmlNode1/chapter} </chapters-destination> return $xmlNode2 Hope this helps. -fs -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Deshbir Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 8:56 AM To: 'General Mark Logic Developer Discussion' Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] XQUERY question - Inserting nodes in memory Hello All, Could someone advise on the XQUERY syntax for inserting multiple nodes from one XQUERY variable into another. Following is a sample code depicting the problem. ############################# let $xmlNode1 := <chapters-source> <chapter>Chapter 1</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 2</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 3</chapter> .. .. .. </chapters-source> let $xmlNode2 := <chapters-destination> <chapter>Source Chapter 1</chapter> <chapter>Source Chapter 2</chapter> <chapter>Source Chapter 3</chapter> </chapters-destination> . . ########################################################## All the <chapter> nodes that exist in $xmlNode1 need to be inserted into $xmlNode2 i.e. $xmlNode2 should end up as: <chapters-destination> <chapter>Source Chapter 1</chapter> <chapter>Source Chapter 2</chapter> <chapter>Source Chapter 3</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 1</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 2</chapter> <chapter>Chapter 3</chapter> .. .. .. </chapters-destination> Thank you in advance.
