Yes, I tried the query without the return earlier. I saw a syntax error: [XPST0003] Expecting 'where', 'order' or 'return' expression.
I return $c in my query but I still see the error. Looking at the error, I guessed that when a transform function is used in a query, return is required to replace.
Also, I am using two return statements inside the modify function. I am not sure if that is allowed. In any event, is there a way to update multiple nodes at the same time with or without using modify.
Thanks, Sony

Hi Christian, The complete query is: let $node := copy $c :=
<entry> <title>entry title</title> <content>entry content</content> </entry> modify ( return replace value of node $c/title with 'new entry title', return replace value of node $c/content with 'new entry content' ) return $c return replace node doc('doc1')/entry with $node Note: doc1 is a document in the database with 'entry' as the root
element.

Sony,
please provide complete queries, otherwise it's difficult to give constructive feedback (e.g.: $entry isn't specified anywhere, etc).

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to convert a String into a Node
within
XQuery. For example, consider the xquery let $node := copy $c :=
<entry> <title>entry title</title> <content>entry content</content> </entry> modify ( return replace value of node $entry/title with 'new entry title', return replace value of node $entry/content with 'new entry
content'
) return $c
return replace node doc('doc1')/entry with $c The above xquery throws the error: [XPTY0019] Context node required
for
entry; xs:string found. How do I fix this ? Thanks, Sony
