Hi John,

there is one (pretty unknown) option called WRITEBACK [1], which can also be activated via -u on command line [2]; it ensures that changes will be written back to the original file.

Best, Christian

Hello John,

All updates in BaseX are performed on database nodes or in main memory as specified by the XQuery Update spec. You are trying to update a document in the filesystem. You can update thr document in main mamory and afterwards store it using the fn:put function (see http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-update-10/#id-func-put).

Cheers, Dirk

Dear Team,

I am trying to insert few nodes in a XML File. But in reality the nodes are not inserting in the XML File!!

Below is my query

for $x in doc('C:\sample.xml')//CInfos return insert node <Info><Name>James Stuart</Name><Key>7709422869</Key></Info> as last into $x

I tried with another query -

insert node <Info> <Name>James Stuart</Name> <Key>7709422869</Key> </Info> as last into doc('C:\sample.xml')//CInfos

This too not working

If I create a XML DB and then it works... What am I missing?

-- Have a nice day JBest
