Hi, I wondered what the best way to compare dates using mark logic xquery was?
My query looks like this at the moment: import module namespace xinc = "http://marklogic.com/xinclude"; at "/MarkLogic/xinclude/xinclude.xqy"; let $asset_type_code := "STY" let $asset_creation_date := "20111017" let $results := /*[ /*/itemMeta/assetTypeCode[text()=$asset_type_code] and /*/itemMeta/firstCreated[text()='2011-10-17T14:47:52+00:00'] ] return $results However what I would like to do is use the $asset_creation_date variable which would be of format yyyyMMdd and see if it equals the first part of the firstCreated element which is in a different format as above? There doesn¹t seem to be many date time functions and also I¹m not sure if I¹m going about this slightly the wrong way or if I would have to do it in a second FLOWR statement using some string comparison?
