Yes. I am aware of that. Still, I need this functionality, and I haven't gotten the right XPath statement to do what I need in Xindice. My IDs are numbers appended to a letter to fit the XML name criteria.

Any help?

I'm new to XMLDB and need to retrieve the highest value in an ID field for a document type. What is the best method of finding this using Xindice? This would be akin to using a max() function in an RDBMS.

You are aware that IDs in Xindice are by definition XML Names [1], i.e.,
they are strings, not numbers? So that you're asking for the highest
value of a sorted list of Java Strings?
