Ok, so my date input below is "May 28, 2015", but my script below says my pattern doesn't match. I think it should but according to the comment in https://docs.marklogic.com/xdmp:parse-dateTime, as of 6.0-3.1 this function does not round-trip non-numeric values. For example format-dateTime(current-dateTime(), '[MN]') => JUNE but xdmp:parse-dateTime('[MN]', 'JUNE') throws XDMP-PATTERNVALUEMISMATCH.
I need to convert a date like "May 28, 2015" to something like 2015-05-28 so that I can use it to compare dates as a part of a query. What am I missing? Here's a scriptlet that illustrates the issue. xquery version "1.0-ml"; declare namespace html = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";; declare namespace local="this"; declare function local:convert-date($startdateTime as xs:string) as node()*{ fn:format-dateTime((xdmp:parse-dateTime("[MNn] [D1], [Y0001]", xs:string( $startdateTime ) )), "[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]" ) }; declare variable $startdateTime as xs:string external; let $startdateTime:="May 28, 2015" (: return $startdateTime :) let $this-start-date:= local:convert-date($startdateTime) return $this-start-date
