Hello, I'm trying to rewritte XQuery prepared for exist-db into baseX. I have a problem with storing data in the database. In exist-db xmldb:store() function returns a string and there is no problem to create let/return construct.

Is it possible to create a similar solution in baseX?

--- exist-db -----------------------------------------

xquery version "3.0";

declare function local:indexget() as item()* { let $index := doc('db/index.xml') return xs:integer($index/index/text()) };

declare function local:indexset($index as xs:integer) as xs:string? { let $newresource := xmldb:store('/db','index.xml', <index>{$index}</index>) return $newresource };

let $indexnew := local:indexget() + 1 let $newresource := local:indexset($indexnew) return local:indexget() ----------------------------------------------------

And these are baseX functions I wrote, but I don't know if is it possible to create solution similar to above? Can anyone help me solve this problem?

---- BaseX ---------------------------------------------- declare function local:indexget() as item()* { let $index := doc('/home/index.xml') return xs:integer($index/index/text()) };

declare %updating function local:indexset($index as xs:integer) { db:replace('index', 'index.xml', <index>{$index}</index>) };

(....) ------------------------------------------------------------
