[xquery-talk] How to run xquery dynamically on file listing fromdirectory

Wed Apr 16 11:37:02 PDT 2008

Selene,

It's not possible to use an external XQuery Engine in XMLSpy. This is on
our watch list for a future release!

Integrating Saxon as an external xslt engine w/XMLSpy is easy enough,
but the XQuery 1.0 engine used will always default to our own which is
also provided for free in the AltovaXML
<http://www.altova.com/components_xquery.html> . 

I wrote a blog post on how to integrate external xslt engines in XMLSpy
awhile ago if you're interested,

http://www.xmlscoop.com/2007/12/xslt-transformations-in-xmlspy-using.htm
l

As to why you cannot get XQuery to work in XMLSpy
<http://www.altova.com/products/xmlspy/xquery_editor.html> , you haven't
provided any details about the problem. Please contact me off-list and
I'll be happy to help you.

All of the responses on this thread are greatly appreciated!  I had been
distracted by another priority, but am now revisiting this issue.  To
answer the questions regarding my environment, I am on a PC running
Windows 5.1, and trying to get xquery to work in Altova XMLSpy
Enterprise Edition 8.  Is there something more I should be indicating?
I tried downloading Saxon from sourceforge (the .NET version - is this
correct?  or should it be the java version?  I have no idea)...but the
Extraction Wizard  gave me this error when unzipping the files:  "Error
reading the file". 

Even so, I won't be able to follow the instructions on integration Saxon
with XMLSpy b/c I don't have access to a unix command line (see
http://www.altova.com/forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=1000000527).  I am
really at a loss as to what to do, if anyone can provide assistance...

For the archives then:

If you are using Saxon then you may also need to use
saxon:discard-document() when processing large collections of XML -
otherwise each one will be held in memory (if that applies to XQuery?)
