Re: [basex-talk] Compare List Membership in XQuery

Chris - thanks for sharing your solution (IMO it will help future searchers/readers of the list, or others with similar problems searching the list archive)! Note that the `!=` is an existential quantifier in XPath; i.e. it returns `true` if *any* value on the left is not equal to *any* value of

Hi Chris, I’m glad to hear you found a solution. I was surprised to hear that functx:is-value-in-sequence did the job, though. The body of this function is nothing else than a general comparison: $value = $seq [1] (and I would even have guessed that your query will be eventually rewritten to a

Hi Bridger, The solution was indeed using is-value-in-sequence: import module namespace functx = 'http://www.functx.com'; let $biblFull := distinct-values(collection('edil/Prologue Merged 2013.xml')//biblFull/@id) let $biblStruct := distinct-values(collection('edil/Prologue Merged

Hi Everyone, I just tried using functx:is-value-in-sequence: where not(functx:is-value-in-sequence($title/@id, $biblFull)). I am still getting erroneous results. At this point, I very near offering money for someone to help me fix this. It looks like a bug though to me. I should not be
