Amy GordonSubject: Converting SQL query to XQuery
Author: Amy Gordon

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to convert an SQL query into XQuery format (we're viewing the relational database in an XML view). I've had a look at the XQuery tutorials but how to replicate an inner join is confusing me.

The query is as follows:

SELECT ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Activity_Num­ ber, VESSELSDATASHEET.Equipment_No, VESSELSDATASHEET.Function_Loc,
SCHEDULE_ITS_VESSEL.DateScheduled,­ ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Inspection_T­ ask
FROM ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL INNER JOIN
VESSELSDATASHEET ON ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Vessel_Equip­ ment_ID = VESSELSDATASHEET.Vessel_Equipment_­ ID INNER JOIN
SCHEDULE_ITS_VESSEL ON ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Vessel_Equip­ ment_ID = SCHEDULE_ITS_VESSEL.Vessel_Equipme­ nt_ID AND
ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Activity_Num­ ber = SCHEDULE_ITS_VESSEL.Activity_Numbe­ r

And the XQuery code I have so far is:
<query>
{

for $act doc("database.xml") /DATABASE/ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL
$vds doc("database.xml) DATABASE//VESSELSDATASHEET
$sch doc("database.xml) /DATABASE/SCHEDULE_ITS_VESSEL

where $act/Vessel_Equipment_ID = $vds/Vessel_Equipment_ID
and $act/Vessel_Equipment_ID = $sch/Vessel_Equipment_ID
and $act/Activity_Number = $sch/Activity_Number

return
<record>


</record>
}
</query>

However I'm not sure what to put in the return section to emulate the inner join.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Amy,

>The query is as follows:
>
>SELECT ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Activity_Number,
>VESSELSDATASHEET.Equipment_No,
>VESSELSDATASHEET.Function_Loc,
>SCHEDULE_ITS_VESSEL.DateScheduled,­
>ACTIVITIES_ITS_VESSEL.Inspection_Task

Given these columns, you need this "return" statement:

return
<record>
{$act/Activity_Number}
{$vds/Equipment_No}
{$vds/Function_Loc}
{$sch/DateScheduled}
{$act/Inspection_Task}
</record>

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Thanks!
I assume that includes the inner joins that were present in the SQL statement?

Hi Amy,

>I assume that includes the inner joins that were present in the SQL statement?

Yes, the behavior of a FLWOR loop on multiple variables with a
"where" condition testing all of them is the same of a INNER JOIN
statement (i.e. the "return" expression will be evaluated only if all
the IDs match)

Hope this helps,
Alberto
