Do you have the luxury of being able to you can add namespaces to the content such that similarly named elements have different namespaces for searching?

Is there any way to restrict the position of a matching element, e.g. to be a grand-child of a given child? Context and example: I am using a CTS search to search through the entire database. Let's say I have documents of the form: <doc> <foo> <bar>...</bar> </foo> <fooz> <baz>...</baz> </fooz> </doc> So if I want to get all doc elements where foo/bar is equal to 'one', I can use the following: cts:search( /doc/foo, cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('bar'), 'one'))/.. If I want the doc elements where foo/bar is equal to 'one' and where fooz/baz is equal to 'two', I can use the following: cts:search( /doc, cts:and-query(( cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('bar'), 'one'), cts:element-value-query(xs:QName('baz'), 'two')))) This search is fine as long as we have bar elements only at the exact position /doc/foo/bar, and as long as we have baz elements only at the position /doc/fooz/baz. If they can be at different locations, then the search will return false positive. I can of course filter them again using plain predicates, but that's really doing twice the same work and that works only if there are not 1 zillion false positive matches. So the questio is: is there anything equivalent to the following, to anchor exactly a match within its parent/ancestor: cts:search( /doc, cts:and-query(( cts:path-value-query('foo/bar', 'one'), cts:path-value-query('fooz/baz', 'two')))) Regards, -- Florent Georges http://fgeorges.org/ _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@developer.marklogic.com http://developer.marklogic.com/mailman/listinfo/general
