Invoking database update from RESTXQ
Hello all
I was wondering how to perform database updating, like db:add, in RESTXQ, since the adding and updating functions throw errors when invoked inside functions defined in RESTXQ-modules.
Have been trying to use the forward mechanism, transferring the data to a script without functions, with no success.
Best, Lars G Johnsen
Hi Lars,
are you annotating your RESTXQ endpoints with %updating? F.i.:
declare %rest:path('/somepath') *%updating* function _:update() { updates ... };
Cheers, Lukas

Hi,
it works for me when the XQuery module resides in the "repo" folder, and the RESTXQ function only calls it
---- inside restxq module
import module namespace coll = "http://foo.org/collections";
coll:new("some-db")---- inside repo module
declare updating function _:new($name as xs:string)
{
let $foo := "bar/"
return db:create($name,
concat("/Some/Path/", $foo, $name, ".xml")
)};
