XQuery: Unexpected token "insert nodes" at start of expression-CodePudding

I'm using the Oxygen XML Editor to learn Xquery, and I've opened one of their sample files:

xquery version "3.1";
(:The Saxon EE processor must be set in the XQuery transformation scenario for this example. :)

declare base-uri 'file:/Applications/Oxygen XML Editor/samples/xquery/Update/';

insert node

<product id="p7">
  <name>papa</name>
  <price>2100</price>
  <stock>4</stock>
  <country>China</country>
</product>

as last into doc("products.xml")/products

I would use this to transform the appropriate file, but the file doesn't pass validation. The validation error I get is

F [Saxon-EE XQuery 10.6] Unexpected token "insert nodes" at start of expression

I tried to modify the code to match other examples and I still get the same error. I added the xquery version and base-uri to the sample to eliminate them as possible problems. Why is this happening, how do I fix it.

CodePudding user response：

In Oxygen, go to Preferences / XML / XSLT-XQuery / XQuery / Saxon HE/PE/EE, and tick the option "Enable XQuery Update". Also ensure that the transformation scenario for executing the query has "Saxon-EE" and "Enable XQuery Update" set.

You may need to restart Oxygen for the setting to take effect.

I am using BaseX v.9.7.3

I had to issue set writeback true command first.

Here is how to specify file system directory for the "products.xml" file:

declare base-uri 'e:\Temp\';

XQuery

xquery version "3.1";

(: set writeback true :)
declare base-uri 'e:\Temp\';
