A couple of things here, You need to query for you elements in the thesaurus namespace.
declare namespace thesaurus = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/thesaurus";; You also are already at the "entry" element when you defined the variable $synEntry. Note, the query is now fn:count($synEntry/thesaurus:synonym) (skip the entry and add the namespace). Try the following: xquery version "1.0-ml"; declare namespace thesaurus = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/thesaurus";; let $synEntry := <entry xmlns="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/thesaurus";> <term>zinc</term> <part-of-speech>noun</part-of-speech> <qualifiers> <qualifier>vicinity</qualifier> </qualifiers> <synonym> <term>zinc chelate</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc content</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc dust</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc isotopes</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc radioisotopes</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc retention</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zincum</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zn</term> </synonym> </entry> let $synonymsCount := fn:count($synEntry/thesaurus:synonym) return $synonymsCount [cid:[email protected]] Brad Rix Senior Developer +1 (303) 542-2172 | Office +1 (303) 915-2771 | Mobile [email protected] http://www.flatironssolutions.com IM: AIM: BradRix MSN: [email protected] From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Srinivas Mandadapu Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2009 9:29 AM To: General Mark Logic Developer Discussion Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] question regarding a code snippet.. xquery version "1.0-ml"; let $synEntry := <entry xmlns="http://marklogic.com/xdmp/thesaurus";<http://marklogic.com/xdmp/thesaurus>> <term>zinc</term> <part-of-speech>noun</part-of-speech> <qualifiers> <qualifier>vicinity</qualifier> </qualifiers> <synonym> <term>zinc chelate</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc content</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc dust</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc isotopes</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc radioisotopes</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zinc retention</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zincum</term> </synonym> <synonym> <term>zn</term> </synonym> </entry> let $synonymsCount := fn:count($synEntry/entry/synonym) return $synonymsCount The synonym count is coming out as "0" instead of "8"...still couldn't figure out where I am going wrong. I really appreciate if someone can help me on this. Thanks, Srini
