Re: [basex-talk] trying to rename all node elements from <foo/> to <bar/>

Hi Nick,

for $x in db:open("bccdc_covid19") return rename node $x//baz as "foo"

The rename expression must be performed on a single target node. Try this instead:

for $baz in db:open("bccdc_covid19")//baz return rename node $baz as "foo"

…or…

db:open("bccdc_covid19")//baz ! (rename node . as "foo")

Hope this helps, Christian

Pardon, this indeed works:

for $x in db:open("bccdc_covid19") return rename node $x//baz as "foo"

but only for the first node baz -- how can I rename all of the nodes? Or match an Xpath?

It's CSV data, so the general layout (?) is csv/record/entry and instead of "record" I'd want that to be something else -- doesn't really matter what.
