Hello,
I am not running the query in the server. I use xquery "standalone", triggered with java or VB.net using saxon.

Yes,I want to retrieve a whole document, even on a different server, and normally I get the full name.
If I want to retrieve more documents, I could use collections, right? (I have not used collections yet)

I am able to retrieve xml-documents from a repository, which runs on a tomcat-server. But in that case I need the id of the document (thats ok).
So I searched a way to get documents from a "normal" database, and at first I tried eXist.

Is there a way that you would prefer? Maybe something I didn't even think of !?!
