Re: [basex-talk] xquery replace

Hi Travis,

all xquery operations are atomic.

If you want to replace the value of the node you have to write the query as following:

-> xquery replace value of node root()/child with "new data"

I hope this helps, as first advice.

Feel free to ask for more, Andreas, BaseX Team

Also, is the 'replace' operation atomic?

I am trying to use xquery replace but cannot, it seems, figure out
the correct syntax. As I understand it, the replace query should
be of the form: "xquery replace expr with node", so I'm trying to
do the following:

> xquery replace root()/child with <child>new data</child>
Stopped at line 1, column 15: 
Syntax: XQUERY [query]
  Evaluate XQuery.

I've tried a number of variations but I get the same error. Any
ideas? Thanks.
