Dominic VieiraSubject: Group parent elements in target XML
Author: Dominic Vieira
Date: 19 Apr 2007 03:50 PM
I have a question regarding how to format a target XML.
I have 2 source XML documents that have a parent-child relationship ( a common field in both files). Is there a way to map the 2 documents such that the target file will group the parent record and display only once for all corresponding child records.
For example,
<root>
<parent>
<child/>
<child/>
<child/>
</parent>
<parent>
<child/>
<child/>
<child/>
</parent>
</root>

Currently, when I link the two using the FLWOR the parent repeats for each child element.
<root>
<parent>
<child/>
</parent>
<child/>
<parent>
<child/>
</parent>
</root>
Thanks.

Hi Dominic,
could you post the full XML files? Just from seeing a generic structure, with no values, it's not clear to me the type of grouping you want to achieve.

Thanks,
Alberto

Find attached
1. XML Source
2. XML Source
3. XSD Target

XQuery File
-----------
<BAI_Format>
{
for $Batch in doc('file:///c:/WLB/CDS/Sample%20Extract%20Files/BAI/BatchHeader.xml')/BAIFormat/Batch,
$BatchDetail in /BAI_Format/BatchDetail
where $Batch/BatchNo = $BatchDetail/BatchNo
return
<BatchHeader>
{$Batch/RecordType/text()}
{$Batch/BatchNo/text()}
{$Batch/ItemNumber/text()}
{$Batch/LockboxNo/text()}
{$Batch/LockboxNo/text()}
{$Batch/DepositDate/text()}
{$Batch/TranDest/text()}
{$Batch/TranOrigin/text()}
<BatchDetail>
{$BatchDetail/RecordType/text()}
{$BatchDetail/BatchNo/text()}
{$BatchDetail/ItemNo/text()}
{$BatchDetail/ItemNo/text()}
{$BatchDetail/CheckAmt/text()}
{$BatchDetail/RT/text()}
{$BatchDetail/DDA/text()}
{$BatchDetail/CheckNo/text()}
</BatchDetail>
</BatchHeader>
}
</BAI_Format>

The common element in both XML files is BatchNo, which I would like to group so that the batchHeader element displays once for all associated detail BatchDetail elements.

Thanks,
Dominic

Hi Dominic,
if you want to do grouping, you need to use distinct-values, like in this example:

<BAI_Format>
{
for $id in fn:distinct-values(doc('BatchHeader.xml')/BAIFormat/Batch/BatchNo)
let $Batch:=doc('BatchHeader.xml')/BAIFormat/Batch[BatchNo=$id]
return
<BatchHeader>
{$Batch/RecordType/text()}
{$Batch/BatchNo/text()}
{$Batch/ItemNumber/text()}
{$Batch/LockboxNo/text()}
{$Batch/LockboxNo/text()}
{$Batch/DepositDate/text()}
{$Batch/TranDest/text()}
{$Batch/TranOrigin/text()}
{
for $BatchDetail in /BAI_Format/BatchDetail[BatchNo=$id]
return
<BatchDetail>
{$BatchDetail/RecordType/text()}
{$BatchDetail/BatchNo/text()}
{$BatchDetail/ItemNo/text()}
{$BatchDetail/ItemNo/text()}
{$BatchDetail/CheckAmt/text()}
{$BatchDetail/RT/text()}
{$BatchDetail/DDA/text()}
{$BatchDetail/CheckNo/text()}
</BatchDetail>
}
</BatchHeader>
}
</BAI_Format>

Hope this helps,
Alberto
