Preserving CDATA sections

Hello,

When you create a database from an XML document that had CDATA section, the CDATA mark up is getting removed.

We would like to retain the CDATA sections.

Any information on how to preserve the CDATA section is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Rao

Dear Rao,

note that XQuery does not differentiate between CDATA sections and normal text nodes, i.e., all CDATA markup is internally dissolved and eventually serialized as standard text.

This is different in XSLT (which is not supported by BaseX): some transformers implement the "cdata-section-elements" attribute to allow specific elements to be serialized as CDATA; see also:

Hope this helps, Christian ___________________________
