[xquery-talk] strange results sequence operators

[Robby Pelssers]

@Michael: sorry.. I'm used to hitting the reply button.

So I may conclude that it should return the expected <number> tags as output, ignoring the order. I have to agree that my example was not a really accurate use case anyway but I just wanted to write a little blog about usage of these sequence operators and the output I got was not really helpful ;-)

I was using it a bit more exotic (even Sedna specific) and that function does give expected output.  Still the issue has been addressed on Sedna mailing list.

declare function basictypes:filterBySet($basictypes as element(Product)*, $set as xs:string*) as element(Product)* {
    $basictypes intersect (for $id in $set return index-scan('basictype_id', $id, 'EQ')) 
};

  Oops, I thought the OP talked about the difference in ordering
between the actual and expected result, but it seems I did not
look close enough at the problem.

  My bad, sorry for the noise.  Regards,
