sreekanth mopuruSubject: sequence distinct values
Author: sreekanth mopuru

What is the best way to combine two sequences with distinct values into a sequence with distinct values in a xquery?

For eg.
let $a := (1, 2, 3 )
let $b := (3, 2, 5, 6)

result should be ( 1,2,3, 5, 6)

distinct-values ( ($a, $b)) would probably get the result, but I am looking if there is any other efficient way to take advantage of the fact the sequences being merged are already distinct.

Thanks in advance,
Sreekanth

Hi Sreekanth,
the two sequence are not distinct; also, distinct-values will not guarantee you the order you have written. But if you are looking for the fastest method, you should probably just benchmark the different methods and see which one suits best the XQuery engine you are using.

Order of items is not important, it should just get the distinct values.

Thanks,

Hi,
in this case distinct-values is your best option, as this is what it should do.
