Sorry, I don't understand how db:output() can be used to print out the modified nodes.

I can use it to print some message but if I print out the nodes, it prints out the un-modified nodes.

Basically I'm creating a processing pipeline, so the output of this insertion will be processed further by another piece of code.  But I can't seem to capture the result of the insertion into a variable so that I can process it further.

Maybe there is another way to do such type of processing. Maybe I should just do this type of work in XSLT.

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Anupam

Unfortunately I did not see how I can return the value into a variable for further processing. Is there some other way to do it?

Did you already try db:output()?

Are you mostly interested in

a) updating your data, and returning the modified node(s) as query result, or b) finding the correct updating query to modify your data? ___________________________

Here is what I actually want to do. Maybe someone can suggest a straightforward way.

File : sample1.xml

<P>  <M id="1"/>  <M id="2"/>  <M id="3"/> </P>

File: result1.xml

<Q>  <R id="1"/>  <R id="2"/> </Q>

Desired output :

<P>  <M id="1">     <R id="1"/>   </M>   <M id="2">     <R id="2"/>   </M>  <M id="3"/> </P>

So insert the node from 2nd file into 1st where the ids match.

Thanks, Amupam
