14. Compare the results of XPath/XQuery IDENTICAL!!! /bookstore/book[price>30]/title COMPARE WITH 1.for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book 2.where $x/price>30 3.order by $x/title 4.return $x/title Learning XML XQuery Kick Start 14

15. ทำไมต้อง XQuery แทน XPath 1. คืนค่าเป็นเอกสาร XML 2. สามารถจัดการกับผลลัพธ์ได้ เช่น เรียงลำดับ การแสดงผลลัพธ์ตามตัวอักษร 3. มี Function ใกล้เคียงกับ SQL – SUM – AVG 15

16. Compare the results of XPath/XQuery IDENTICAL!!! => So why do we need XQUERY => Because it has SQL functionality and can manage the result of a query (can manage XML data) /bookstore/book[price>30]/title COMPARE WITH 1.for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book 2.where $x/price>30 3.order by $x/title 4.return $x/title Learning XML XQuery Kick Start 16

17. 17 FLWR Expressions Expression for XQuery 1.One or more for and/or let clauses. 2.Then an optional where clause. 3.A return clause.

18. 18 Example: FOR for $beer in document(”bars.xml”)/BARS/BEER/@name return {$beer} $beer ranges over the name attributes of all beers in our example document. Result is a sequence of BEERNAME elements: Bud Miller... “Expand the en- closed string by replacing variables and path exps. by their values.” Our example BARS document

22. XQuery+HTML { for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book/title order by $x return {$x} } 22

23. Xquery+HTML Results Everyday Italian Harry Potter Learning XML XQuery Kick Start 23

24. XQuery Terminology XML documents are treated as trees of nodes Seven kinds of nodes: element, attribute, text, namespace, processing-instruction, comment, and document (root) nodes. XML document example: 24

25. XML document Harry Potter J K. Rowling 2005 29.99 25

26. Nodes (document node) J K. Rowling (element node) lang="en" (attribute node) 26

27. Atomic values Atomic values are nodes with no children or parent. Example of atomic values: J K. Rowling "en" 27

28. XQuery Basic Syntax Rules 1.XQuery is case-sensitive 2.XQuery elements, attributes, and variables must be valid XML names 3.An XQuery string value can be in single or double quotes 4.An XQuery variable is defined with a $ followed by a name, e.g. $bookstore 5.XQuery comments are delimited by (: and :), e.g. (: XQuery Comment :) 28

29. 29 Getting Data From Elements Suppose we want to compare the values of elements, rather than their location in documents. To extract just the value (e.g., the price itself) from an element E, use data(E ) TO CREATE NEW ELEMENTS

30. IF-Else (: XQuery main module :) for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book return if ($x/@category="CHILDREN") then {data($x/title)} else {data($x/title)} 30

35. XQuery-HTML (: XQuery main module :) Bookstore { for $x in doc("books.xml")/bookstore/book order by $x/title return {data($x/title)}. Category: {data($x/@category)} } 35

37. 37 Quantifier Expressions some $x in E 1 satisfies E 2 1.Evaluate the sequence E 1. 2.Let $x (any variable) be each item in the sequence, and evaluate E 2. 3.Return TRUE if E 2 has EBV TRUE for at least one $x. Analogously: every $x in E 1 satisfies E 2

38. 38 Example: Some The bars that sell at least one beer for less than $2. for $bar in doc(”bars.xml”)/BARS/BAR where some $p in $bar/PRICE satisfies $p < 2.00 return $bar/@name Notice: where $bar/PRICE < 2.00 would work as well.

42. 42 LET Clauses let :=,... Value of the variable becomes the sequence of items defined by the expression. Note let does not cause iteration; for does.

43. 43 Example: LET let $d := document(”bars.xml”) let $beers := $d/BARS/BEER/@name return {$beers} Returns one element with all the names of the beers, like: Bud Miller …

44. Let example { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return $plist } 44

45. Let example { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return $plist } 45

47. $xpathExpression =/Bookstore/Book/@Price 47

48. Let example { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return $plist } Query: <>, line 0, column 0: [XQDY0025] An attribute of a constructed element has name "Price", which is not distinct from the names of all other attributes of the constructed element. 48

49. Let example Cont.-1 { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return data($plist) } 49

50. Let example Cont.-1 { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return data($plist) } 85 100 50 25 50

51. Let example Cont.-2 { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return avg($plist) } 51

52. Let example Cont.-2 { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return avg($plist) } 65 52

53. Let example Cont.-2 { let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price return avg($plist) } หรือ avg(data($plist)) ก็ ได้นะ 65 53

54. For กับ Let ต่างกันอย่างไร For จะเป็นการ Loop แต่ Let จะเป็นการกำหนดค่าตัวแปรเฉยๆ 54

55. Books whose price is below average (:************************************************************** * LET AND FOR TOGETHER, ATTRIBUTES TURNED INTO ELEMENTS Books whose price is below average *************************************************************** *:) let $plist := doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book/@Price for $b in doc("bookstore.xml")/Bookstore/Book where $b/@Price < avg($plist) return { $b/Title } { $b/data(@Price) } 55

61. XQuery was designed to query XML data XQuery 1.0 became a W3C Recommendation January 23, 2007 The doc() function is used to open the XML file, e.g. doc("books.xml") Path Expressions XQuery uses path expressions to navigate through elements in an XML document.

62. Predicates XQuery uses predicates to limit the extracted data from XML documents. XQuery can be put inside HTML or XML. To do that you need to put XQuery inside {….}

63. Example of using { … } XQuery return $laptop Result $laptop

64. Example of using { … } XQuery return {$laptop} Result $laptop 2.00 2048 240 20.1

65. Conclustion for { … } with XQuery Everytime we want to mix Xquery with XML or HTML, we need to put Xquery inside the curry bracket, i.e. { …… }. Otherwise, we will not get the correct result.

66. Laptop with price more than 2000 FLOWR LET $product := doc(“products.xml”) FOR $laptop in $product/maker/laptop WHERE $laptop/@price > 2000 ORDER BY RETURN $laptop 66

67. Laptop with price more than 2000 (: XQuery main module :) let $product := doc("products.xml") for $laptop in $product/Products/Maker/Laptop where $laptop/@price > 2000 return $laptop 67

68. Laptop with price more than 2000 2.16 1024 120 17.0 2.00 2048 240 20.1 68

69. Laptop with price more than 2000 (: XQuery main module :) let $product := doc("products.xml") for $laptop in $product//Laptop where $laptop/@price > 2000 return $laptop 69

70. Laptop with price more than 2000 order by model 1.(: XQuery main module :) 2.let $product := doc("products.xml") 3.for $laptop in $product//Laptop 4.where $laptop/@price > 2000 5.Order by $laptop/@model 6.return $laptop 70

71. Laptop with price more than 2000 order by model surrounded by 1.(: XQuery main module :) 2.let $product := doc("products.xml") 3.for $laptop in $product//Laptop 4.where $laptop/@price > 2000 5.Order by $laptop/@model 6.return $laptop 71
