Update is really easy... let $oldYear as attribute() := doc("book.xml")/bib/book[1]/@year, $newYear as attribute() := attribute year {2005} return xdmp:node-replace($oldYear, $newYear) Adding it initially (since the book element has no other attributes) is slightly less straight forward... let $book := doc("book.xml")/bib/book[1] return xdmp:node-replace($book, element book { attribute year {2009}, $book/* } ) If the book element had other attributes you could use xdmp:node-insert-after() or xdmp:node-insert-before(). Regards, Wyatt Add the attribute Santhosh Raj wrote: Hi all, 1) If i have a document stored in marklogic server without attributes for its element, suppose now if i want to add any attributes to the element, then how do i do that without using xdmp:node-replace() function eg: My file is book.xml <bib> <book > <title>TCP/IP Illustrated</title> <author><last>Stevens</last><first>W.</first></author> <publisher>Addison-Wesley</publisher> <price>65.95</price> </book> <book > <title>Advanced Programming in the Unix environment</title> <author><last>Stevens</last><first>W.</first></author> <publisher>Addison-Wesley</publisher> <price>65.95</price> </book> </bib> If i want to add an attribute "year" to book element . How to do it without replacing the whole node. let $b := doc("book.xml")//book return xdmp:node-replace($b[1], <book year="2009" > <title>TCP/IP Illustrated</title> <author><last>Stevens</last><first>W.</first></author> <publisher>Addison-Wesley</publisher> <price>65.95</price> </book>) 2) If i want to change the attribute value (form 2009 to 2005) then how to do without replacing the whole node, How do i change the attribute value only using xquery.
