Creating an XQuery Procedure
This topic describes how to create an XQuery procedure.
To create an XQuery procedure
1. Select a folder in the Studio resource tree, and then right-click and select New XQuery Procedure, or select File > New > XQuery Procedure.
2. Supply a name for the procedure in the XQuery.
3. Type a name and click OK.
The editor opens in the XQuery panel on the right.
4. Use the XQuery panel to formulate and edit the XQuery XML script:
— You can use any non-declarative statement as the first statement after BEGIN.
— If you have a script stored in your file system, you can upload it using the Insert from File button.
— The XQuery panel can highlight XML syntax elements (comments, keywords, and so on).
— Insert standard XML comments by highlighting one or more lines and typing:
— Ctrl-Hyphen to insert two dashes (--) at the start of each line.
5. Save the script.
