insert node (attribute {'a'} {5}, 'text', <e/>) as first into /n

The target element is replaced by the DOM node <a/>. You can also replace the value of a node or its descendants by using the modifier '''value of'''.

replace value of node /n with (<a><b/></a>)

</pre>

====rename====

for $n in //node

return rename node $n as 'renamedNode'

====transform====

copy $c := doc('/doc.xml')//node[@id=1]

modify rename node $c as 'copyOfNode'

I we have the document:

<doc> <a/> </doc>

</pre>

... and perform the following query:

insert node <b/> into /doc,

for $n in /doc/child::node()

The document looks like this:

<doc> <justRenamed/><b/> </doc>

</pre>

To use updating expressions within a function, the 'updating' flag has to be added to the function declaration. A correct declaration of a function that contains updating expressions (or one that calls updating functions) looks like this:

declare updating function { ... }

</pre>

;DOM node as target:

:Result: <pre/>

;database node as target:

:Result: <pre style='color:red'>[XUDY0021] Duplicate attribute "id".</pre>

;Serializing a modified DOM node:
