You can define the attribute as a key and the system
Will check whether it is unique.

Subject: Howto: Enforce unique attribute


Sorry, i'm new to this and now have to consume XML so am writing an XSD,
I am stuck on how to make the validator enforce a unique attribute, I am
stuck with the XML format and have to make the xsd match!

===========================================================<!-- cut down
xml
-->
<ConfigurationInformation>
<Streams>
<Stream Num="1">
<IP>10.10.10.10</IP>
<!-- 191.137.98.105 when validator fixed -->
</Stream>
<Stream Num="1"> <!-- ##### I want an error here ##### -->
<IP>10.10.10.10</IP> </Stream> <Stream Num="2"> <IP>10.10.10.10</IP>
</Stream> </Streams> </ConfigurationInformation>
===========================================================

I would like to detect there are 2 streams with Num=1, it must be
possible but I cannot work it out.

My [cut down] validation file, don't laugh.
===========================================================
<xsd:element name="ConfigurationInformation">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Streams" type="adh:Streams"
minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:anyAttribute/>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="Streams">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="Stream" type="adh:Stream" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:anyAttribute/>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="Stream">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="IP" type="xds:string"
minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1"/>
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="Num" type="xsd:string" use="required"/>
<xsd:anyAttribute/> </xsd:complexType>

===========================================================
