[xquery-talk] Defining a string array and setting values

[John Snelson]

XQuery is a functional language, which means you won't be able to use 
procedural techniques to write an XQuery program. Setting the value of a 
variable is one of the procedural paradigms which you can't use in XQuery.

You'll need to take a step backwards and find a solution to your problem 
that doesn't involve setting values in an array.
