declare variable $flatFileName := $InputParaData/root/csvFileName/text();

<ROOT>
{
for $PRIMARY_ACCOUNT in doc(concat("adapter:CSV:first=yes:row=PRIMARY_ACCOUNT?file:///",$flatFileName))/table/row
return
<POLICY>
{$PRIMARY_ACCOUNT}
</POLICY>
}
</ROOT>

The result's structure likes
<ROOT>
<POLICY>
<row>
</row>
</POLICY>
<POLICY>
<row>
.........
</row>
</POLICY>
<ROOT>

Based on the schema, <row> should be replaced by <PRIMARY_ACCOUNT>. I don't want to map each elemement one by one because the fields' names of flat data file are exactly same as the element names of the schema and there are a huge number of elements. I want to make the xQuery looks simple.

Could you please give me some advices about how to put <PRIMARY_ACCOUNT> in there to replace <row>?

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

<ROOT>
{
for $PRIMARY_ACCOUNT in doc(concat("adapter:CSV:first=yes:row=PRIMARY_ACCOUNT?file:///",$flatFileName))/table/row
return
<POLICY>
<PRIMARY_ACCOUNT> {
for $item in $PRIMARY_ACCOUNT
return $item
} </PRIMARY_ACCOUNT>
</POLICY>
}
</ROOT>

Thanks, Minollo.

But it doesn't work. The result still has <row>:
<ROOT>
<POLICY>
<PRIMAARY_ACCOUNT>
<row>
......
</row>
</PRIMARY_ACCOUNT>
</POLICY>
</ROOT>

Sorry, my fault:
for $item in $PRIMARY_ACCOUNT/*
return $item
