Your where clause is guarenteeing that the else condition will never
occur.
Try this instead, it might be closer to what you want
for $entry in doc("uri")//root/entry
let $entry1_exists = $ent...@id = $entryid]
return
if (empty($entry1_exists))
then
$entry1
else
$entry2

Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] query on If else
Hi,
I have a query regarding the if-else statement in query.the code below
describes the query:
let $entryid="1"
let $entry1:="1"
let $entry2:="2"
for $entry in doc("uri")//root/entry
where $entry/@id = $entryid
return
if (empty($entry))
then
$entry1
else
$entry2
Now if there is a entry with entryid=1 then it gives $entry2=2 . whereas
if no entry exists with entryid=1 then it gives "no results". Please
suggest me some other way to check the if condition so that I can get
the desired result.
Thanks,
Pragya
