Christian GutermannSubject: XQuery basics
Author: Christian Gutermann
Date: 13 Jan 2007 04:46 PM
Hi out there,

in an XML-file i have a root element <r>, witch is unique followed by multiple sub elements. Looks a little like that:

<r>
<group_1>
...
<element_list>
<child_1/>
<child_2/>
<child_3/>
</element_list>
...
</group_1>
...
</r>

I know how to extract all children by using XQuery, but it only shows me the child values. How can I get also the r value displayed that belongs to the child values?

Please do not laugh about such a newbie question ;)

Hi Christian,

Once you have reached the group_1 element, you can access the parent r node by using ".."; if you are on element_list, you will have to use "../.."

Hope this helps,
Alberto
