Subject: Support Grid View for XML fragments

Hi,

I've just stared to use Stylus Studio to develop Xqueries in conjunction with Oracle's XMLTABLE function in the database. For that I produce a flat XML sequence similar to the following:

<result value1="a1" value2="b1" value3="c1"/>
<result value1="a2" value2="b2" value3="c2"/>
<result value1="a3" value2="b3" value3="c3"/>
<result value1="a4" value2="b4" value3="c4"/>

I know this is not a valid document, but it'll be nice if Stylus Studio could handle that nonetheless. E.g to format the result and to present it in a grid view.

As a workaround I currently copy the Xquery preview result over to Altova XMLSpy to view the result in a grid. - It's easier than to add a node every time.

Thank you very much!

Hi Philip,

The XML Editor Tree and Grid views are designed for well-formed XML, they require a DOM.

The XQuery Editor Text and Tree preview windows, when running with Saxon, can render a sequence.

If I understand your requirements, you want to make sure to generate a valid sequence. See the screenshot attached, you could also set the Scenario's output URL to save the result on each run.

Hope this helps

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for the fast answer. - Your input helped. I've changed the settings to ensure that every sequence is printed on a new line. In most cases this is indeed sufficient to verify the result visually.

I agree that based on these settings I may render the result with everything which is callable via command line interface.

However, visualizing sequences in a grid is still something which is missing in Stylus Studio (that's why I posted this in the "feature request thread"), but I may live with the workaround to use XMLSpy for that purpose.

Thanks!
Best Regards

Philipp
