[xquery-talk] Namespace conflict ?

Hi Christian

thank you for your input.

That I don’t get.

This works
let $i:=(doc("FitnessCenter.xml")//Name)[1]

return rename node $i as QName('http://www.gym.com', "Name”)
with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8”?>

<FitnessCenter>
   <Member Level="platinum">
       <Name>Jeff</Name>
       <FavoriteColor>lightgrey</FavoriteColor>
   </Member>
</FitnessCenter>

This not

declare namespace gym='http://www.mygym.com';

let $i:=(doc("FitnessCenter.xml")//gym:Name)[1]

return rename node $i as QName('http://www.gym.com', "Name”)
with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8”?>

<FitnessCenter xmlns="http://www.mygym.com">
   <Member Level="platinum">
       <Name>Jeff</Name>
       <FavoriteColor>lightgrey</FavoriteColor>
   </Member>
</FitnessCenter>



Why should that conflict?
Always
Leo
