RE: XQuery Update to return values

Can not do this in the current version of the update facility.

This use case was accepted to be resolved as part of the Scripting
Extension facility work - part 3.4 of the requirements:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-sx-10-requirements/#functionalities -
returning values from expressions that have side-effects.

Subject: XQuery Update to return values

 

Hi,

 

The problem I am trying to solve is that with XQuery Update faicility, I
will update an element and at the same time, I want the same element to
be returned. Something like the following:

 

1. update a book element's author 

2. return the updated book element

 

Is there a way to do it in one query instead of two separate queries?
And it looks like update expression does not return anything

 

Thanks,

Emma
