Hi Devesh, XQuery specification allows lazy evaluation, and MarkLogic makes heavy use of that. Just don’t put the call to your init function in a declare variable, but simply call it before the local:test. Something like:
let $init := local:initialize-variables() return local:test() Cheers, Geert From: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of "Tyagi, Devesh" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Reply-To: MarkLogic Developer Discussion <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Monday, July 27, 2015 at 9:55 AM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [MarkLogic Dev General] XQuery evaluation Hi, I have the following piece of code in XQuery: declare variable $triple-predicate-prefix := "http://www.bsi.org/predicates/";; declare variable $triple-predicate-suffix-hasTaxonomyName := "hasTaxonomyName"; declare variable $triple-predicates-map := map:map(); declare variable $initialize-variables-caller := local:initialize-variables(); declare function local:initialize-variables(){ let $_ := map:put($triple-predicates-map,$triple-predicate-suffix-hasTaxonomyName,fn:concat($triple-predicate-prefix,$triple-predicate-suffix-hasTaxonomyName)) return () }; declare local:test(){ map:get($triple-predicates-map,$triple-predicate-suffix-hasTaxonomyName) }; local:test() This returns me and empty sequence. The map doesn't get initialized. It would be helpful if someone could point me towards the reason and solution behind it. Thanks and regards, Devesh "This e-mail and any attachments transmitted with it are for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential , proprietary or privileged information.
