XQuery - problem with recursive function
- by H4mm3rHead
Hi all,
Im new on this project and am going to write, what i thought was a simple thing. A recursive function that writes nested xml elements in x levels (denoted by a variable). So far I have come up with this, but keeps getting a compile error. Please note that i have to generate new xml , not query existing xml:
xquery version "1.0";
declare function local:PrintTest($amount)
{
<test>
{
let $counter := 0
if ($counter <= $amount )
then local:PrintTest($counter)
else return
$counter := $counter +1
}
</test>
};
local:PrintPerson(3)
My error is:
File Untitled1.xquery: XQuery transformation failed
XQuery Execution Error!
Unexpected token - " ($counter <= $amount ) t"
I never understood xquery, and cant quite see why this is not working (is it just me or are there amazingly few resources on the Internet concerning XQuery?)
