You can declare a prefix for a namespace and use it in XQuery or XPath like this:
declare namespace mystuff = "http://mystuff.com/schema";; $record//mystuff:list Try it out. Keith L.

In any case the solution is return $record//*:list Note that this will match ANY namespace list element, which in your case is fine, but in the general case is not. I dont know of a way in xpath to match "the non prefixed namespace" without pulling in ALL namespaces -David ---------------------------------------- David A.

[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 812-482-5224 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tim Meagher Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 10:17 PM To: 'General Mark Logic Developer Discussion' Subject: RE: [MarkLogic Dev General] Probleminsertingdefaultnamespaceincreated XML document fixed,but validation fails Hi Geert, et al, I'm still having a little problem. I can construct the new document node so that the default namespace is appropriately applied to the root element, e.g. For example, the contents of the newly created $record variable include the following: <record xmlns="http://mystuff.com/schema";> <list> <item>shoes</item> </list> </record> So if I write the xquery expression: return $record it will return the contents above, but if I write the xquery expression: return $record//list it will return nothing. I think this is because it needs to be aware of the namespace, but I cannot declare the default element namespace without confusing the construction of the $record node. How do I go about referencing the list element within $record node without declaring the default element namespace? Thank you!

As it turns out, I had neglected to use the QName to create the root element (I was fashioning it separately from the rest of the nodeset in my code), even though one of the attributes was the xmlns reference (which is why I thought it wouldn't have a problem). Thank you for your help!

If the namespace doesn't match the one in the schema, an XDMP-SCHMNSMISMATCH is thrown. What result are you expecting and what are you getting?
