Re: XPath question - big trouble

Thanks for replying.

It was a typo ...
Also id fom example should be objid ...

Anyway, without the typo, the result set is empty.

There is also a weird thing:

SELECT
xpath_nodeset(rawdata, '/mydocument/body/chapter/contents/paragraph')
FROM xmldocuments

will output

xpath_nodeset
----------------
(empty line)
(empty line)
(empty line)
(empty line)

4 record(s) selected [Fetch MetaData: 0/ms] [Fetch Data: 1/ms]

[Executed: 8/7/06 5:42:54 PM CEST ] [Execution: 3/ms]

- (empty line) is what I wrote to say that there was nothing on output -
which makes me think there is something wrong with XPath implementation.

Anyway, is there a solution to my problems?
