I think there might be a bug in namespace resolution after an insert.

This problems seems to be related to another tracked namespace issue; I've added your observation to the following bug entry:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2941714&gr...

Thanks for the detailed info; expect a bug fix soon, Christian

I have two xml files:

doc.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  <doc xmlns:a="http://a">    <a:x>1</a:x>  </doc>

doc2.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  <r xmlns="http://b" xmlns:a="http://a">    <a:x>2</a:x>  </r>

I create database "doc" from "doc.xml". Then, I preform the following insert query:

declare namespace a = "http://a";  declare namespace b = "http://b";

insert nodes doc("doc2.xml")/b:r/a:x  into basex:db("doc")/doc

and the result is:

<doc xmlns:a="http://a">    <a:x>1</a:x>    <a:x xmlns="http://b%22%3E2</a:x>  </doc>

but

basex:db("doc")/doc/a:x

returns

<a:x xmlns:a="http://a%22%3E1</a:x>
