I have the awful feeling that I'm missing something really obvious, but I want to be able to get the pathname of the current query, and I can't figure out how.
The use case is that the query validates documents in the collection differently, based on the document element, and I want to refer to the different schema files (which sit, on the file system, right next to the file with the query in it) in a machine-independent way.
So instead of
let $decisionSchema := '/home/graydon/workspace/Content Standards/schemas/decisions_schema.xsd'
I'd like to be able to say something like
let $decisionSchema := concat(string-join(tokenize(get-query-path(),'/')[position() ne last()],'/'),'/decisions_schema.xsd')
only I can't figure out what get-query-path() is.
Thanks! Graydon

For many Query engines it won't be defined.
You could try constructing an element and asking for its base URI I suppose.

Thanks Liam, you are right, the shortest way to achieve should be the following:
let $path-to-query-file := base-uri(<_/>)

Hi Graydon,
you may as well want to use the static-base-uri() function (“static” refers to the given query file and not the database context).

I certainly do want to use static-base-uri(); thank you!
Next time, I need to read the function definitions more slowly. :)
