I am using the following Xquery:
for $b in input()/WineMaking/Vintage
where $b/ProductionYear > 1800
return $b/Quality

ProductionYear and Quality are elements (not attributes.
This query is not returning any result. Could anyone please help me out of this.

Hi,

could you please post sample data and the schema? Otherwise this is hard to answer

regards

Harald

Hi Lak,

ProductionYear is of type xs:gYear. For this reason, you cannot simply compare it to an integer. XQuery offers two choices to resolve the situation: either construct a comparison value of type xs:gYear (using xs:gYear(1800)) or cast the ProductionYear to integer. Unfortunately, the casting function xs:gYear will be available in Tamino V4.2 only, thus, only the second choice remains for you. The following query should do the job:

declare namespace xs=“XML Schema”
for $b in input()/WineMaking/Vintage
where xs:integer(string($b/ProductionYear)) > 1900
return $b/Quality

Note that XQuery does not support a direct cast from xs:gYear to xs:integer. This is why the string function has to be applied first.

Regards

Harald
