Subject: [xquery-talk] cast the dutchie on the right hand side
Message-ID: <CALfs7+y7TiH3LwuNRoLYg8XN5GF0WPrRmwTW1G-SqHZx=rH5-A@mail.gmail.com>

So I naively thought I'd try

xquery version "3.0";

('1999-12-31','2003-11-04') / castable as xs:date

because I am dealing with dirty data that shouldn't but sometimes contains
more than one date field.

Am wondering what is so objectionable about mapping a Boolean operator over
a sequence?

This should help you:

  ('1999-12-31','2003-11-04') ! (. castable as xs:date)

Subject: [xquery-talk] Checking a collection for more or last
Message-ID: <CALfs7+yzw2Lzq4i9jhxfoP3w1p=q7-NAYgpPSKbG+aRyRtNd-Q@mail.gmail.com>

Aside from counting the nodes a priori and then comparing as you iterate,
is there any other way of checking to see if you are on the last node in a
collection.

As I read the docs the following axes and last() are not operative across
documents (i.e at the collection level).

Dear XQuery aficionados,

in the midst of summertime, we provide you with a new version of BaseX,
our XML database system and XQuery 3.0 processor. This is what you get:

XQUNIT
- Unit testing has been improved a lot. All test functions will now be
     evaluated separately; this way, updates can be performed within test.
- with the new TEST command, all test modules in a specified directory
     can be evaluated.
- tests can be invoked from within the GUI editor and project view.
- on command-line, the -t flag can be used for the same purpose.

RESTXQ
- Custom HTTP methods can be defined via %rest:method
- Error handling has been improved and aligned with try/catch

REST
- The "run" operation allows execution of server-side command scripts

DATABASE MODULE
- parsing options added to db:create, db:add and db:replace

As usual, various minor bugs and inconsistencies have been fixed in
the latest version; check out our documentation and the GitHub
history for more details.

The latest version is available at http://basex.org.
We are looking forward to your feedback,

Christian
BaseX Team
