What are the implications of doing:
/article
vs
fn:collection()/article
or
fn:doc()/article
?
Seems like the first one shouldn't be allowed since no context is specified,
yet it seems to work. Is that part of the XQuery spec or is that part of the
1.0-ml dialect? (seems so because when I specify 1.0 I get an error). What is
happening behind the scenes when no context is specified? From a stach trace it
looks like fn:collection() is inserted behind the scenes. If so, what's the
thinking for that doing that?
Also, it looks like this is a way to be able to write somewhat dynamic XQuery
by doing something like this:
let $query := /article/title
return fn:collection()/$query
Which apparently is the equivalent of fn:collection()//article/title
Thanks,
Ryan
