Or even "=". Something like id('010003-031') eq id('010003-057') if those are two ads you believe to be duplicates. Oh - I've just noticed your ID values aren't valid ID values - an ID can't start with a digit. So change that to //ad[@xml:id='010003-031'] eq //ad[@xml:id='010003-057'] > If I use > this, would this not mean that I have to know the exact head > element to call when I am executing the XQuery? You're comparing whether <ad> elements are duplicates, not whether their <head> elements are duplicates. Is that perhaps the source of your confusion? > > As for the error you raised, I tried running the XQuery by > using declare boundary-space strip at the prolog section of > the XQuery, but it returned me with still two of the same > result for every single set that it has found.

There could be all kind of things, for example a capital Latin A in one versus a capital Cyrillic A in the other would not readily show up when viewed on the screen. OK, perhaps that's unlikely - but I've no way of knowing that. That's why I asked you to run the test. Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
