RE: A simple XQuery(XPath) question...

(<mike><bob/><bob/></mike>)

 

gives you a mike element.

 

(<mike><bob/><bob/></mike>)/mike

 

tries to give you the mike child of mike (which is ()).

 

Try:

 

(<mike><bob/><bob/></mike>)/bob

Subject: A simple XQuery(XPath) question...

 

The following XQuery expression evaluates to the empty sequence: 

 

(<mike><bob/><bob/></mike>)/mike/bob 

 

I would have thought that it evaluated to: 

 

<bob/><bob/> 

 

Where am I wrong? 

 

Thanks,
