XQuery Transformation
This type of transformation specifies the parameters and location of an XML source that the edited XQuery file is applied on.
Note: When the XML source is a native XML database, the source field of the scenario is empty
because the XML data is read with XQuery-specific functions, such as
document(). When the XML source is a local XML file, the URL of the file
is specified in the input field of the scenario.To create an XQuery transformation scenario, use one of the following
methods:
- Use the
Configure Transformation Scenario(s) (Ctrl + Shift
+ C (Command + Shift + C on macOS)) action from the
toolbar or the menu. Then click the New button and select
XQuery transformation. - Go to and select Transformation Scenarios to display this view. Click the
New Scenario drop-down menu button and
select XQuery transformation.
Both methods open the New Scenario dialog box.
The upper part of the dialog box
allows you to specify the Name of the transformation scenario and the
following Storage options:
- Project Options - The scenario is stored in the project file and can be shared with other users. For example, if your project is saved on a source versioning/sharing system (CVS, SVN, Source Safe, etc.) or a shared folder, your team can use the scenarios that you store in the project file.
- Global Options - The scenario is saved in the global options that are stored in the user home directory and is not accessible to other users.
The lower part of the dialog box contains several tabs that allow you to configure the options that control the transformation.
