Hi,

Not tried it myself but, AsterixDB [1] may be of interest to XQuery users.

>The heart of AQL[2] is the FLWOR (for-let-where-orderby-return)
expression. The roots of this expression were borrowed from the expression
of the same name in XQuery.

and

>but XQuery was co-designed by a diverse band of experienced language
designers (SQL, functional programming,and XML experts)
>and we wanted to avoid revisiting many of the same issues [3]

Regards
/Andy
