Matthew O'BrienSubject: it's possible to have a where clause with variables?

hi all,
i'll show you my problem!

it's possible to replace something like this:

for $a in doc( '/db/tesi/UtentiIstanza.xml' )/utenti/utente
where $a/credenziali/unacredenziale[nomecredenziale='CI']/residenza='Milano'
return $a/id

with something like this:

let $expcred := "credenziali/unacredenziale[nomecredenziale='CI']/residenza='Milano'"
for $a in doc( '/db/tesi/UtentiIstanza.xml' )/utenti/utente
where $a/$expcred
return $a/id

the first example works,the second no,how can i do?
I need to use this in a function and $expcred is one of my parameters

thanks a lot for your help
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
what you want to do is not possible, unless you use a non-standard function that lets you evaluate a query at runtime (e.g. with Saxon, it's saxon:eval)

Hope this helps,
Alberto
