[xquery-talk] Using Sum and Count

[Wei, Alice J.]

Hi, XQueriers:

  I have an XML here as follows:

<project>

<projection><!--More Markup--></projection>
<projection><!--More Markup--></projection>
<!--More markup-->
</project>

My XQuery:

declare boundary-space preserve;

for $project in
doc("http://chausie.slis.indiana.edu:8080/exist/rest//db/resume/resume.xml"),
$head in $project//projection
return
<statistics>sum({count($head)})</statistics>

I intend to get the result of how many items in <projection>, but when I execute it, it only gives me lots and lots of <statistics>sum(1)</statistics>
until the document is finished.

Can any expert out there help me out and tell me what is the matter with my code?

Thanks to those who can help.

Alice.
