[Qexo-general] Xquery newbie questions

[address@hidden]

I've just started learning XQuery (and your implementation, Qexo), and have
a couple of questions. I'm running it under Java 1.4.0 on Windows 2000.

First of all, I'm just trying to type in some of the examples from the
"What is XQuery?" document, and some of them don't seem to work. I don't
know if it's because of typos in the tutorial, or something I'm doing
wrong. For example, in the "Sequences" section, when I type in the
following line:

let $a := 3,4

I get the following error message:

xquery[1]: let $a := 3,4
<stdin>:1:14: missin $NAME after ','

Some of the other examples don't seem to work, either, and in some cases
even cause an exception to be thrown, even though I type them in exactly as
shown in the tutorial.

I'm also trying to run some of the examples in "Early Adopter XQuery" by
Cagle et al, but without much luck. I realize that some features may not be
implemented in Qexo yet, but nothing seems to work. Is the book out of date
already? Can someone suggest any other books on XQuery? There doesn't seem
to be much available yet.

Thanks for your help.
