XQuery uses XPath which uses regeps in the same way C# or Java or Python use regexps.<br>Regexps don't define XPath; they are just one tiny feature of XPaths, which are one part of XQuery.<br><br>XQuery is a Turing-complete language.<br>

I was wondering what are the limitations of XQuery? For instance,<br>
there are some limitations of regular exp (you can't parse what is not<br>
defined by a regular language). Since XQuery uses XPath which uses reg<br>
exp - does it bring any limitations to XQuery search engine?<br>
<br>
I tried to google some examples, but mostly someone was able to<br>
prepare interesting query.<br>
<br>
I mean here typical XQuery and reg exp (there are some extensions to<br>
reg exp that diminish such limitations somehow, but here i am<br>
interested in pure definitions)<br clear="all"></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Tony Lavinio DataDirect Technologies <a href="mailto:alavinio@datadirect.com">alavinio@datadirect.com</a><br>High-performance XML Processor: DataDirect XQuery <a href="http://www.xquery.com/">http://www.xquery.com/</a><br>
