Hi Yann,
The common way to do this is as Martin proposed: You can strip namespaces via a recursive function. See [1] for an example.
As this is a frequently asked feature, it would about time to define a mode or built-in function for this purpose in BaseX. An equivalent solution for exclude-result-prefixes could also be proposed for XQuery 4.0 [2]…
Salutations, Christian

Did you see my other suggestion in the first answer to try to change your XQuery code to use
insert node $record/c ! element { node-name() } { @*, node() } into db:open('uk_parlement_ead')/dsc
Oh, i missed it ! Sorry.
It is working ... at the <c> level :
<c level="item"> <did xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:marc="http://www.loc.gov/MARC21/slim">
I see, I guess one way would be to write a recursive function you pass that `c` element to that then recreates any element like in the above snippet, only recursively e.g.
declare function local:strip-namespaces($node as node()) as node() { typeswitch($node) case element() return element { node-name($node) } { $node/@*, $node/node()!local:strip-namespaces(.) } default return $node
};
and then use e.g.
insert node $record/c ! local:strip-namespaces(.) into db:open('uk_parlement_ead')/dsc
Hopefully there is an easier way using XQuery update instructions but I am not good enough with them to know.
