OSB: How to recreate reusable XQuery functions

1033781Jul 11 2009 — edited Jun 21 2013
OSB's XQuery implementation does not support the XQuery "module" which allows the creation of a function library so how can OSB provide function re-use?

I know you can create XQuery transformations that can be called but these always need a "body" that makes a specific call so I'm finiding I have to copy useful XQuery functions from one transformation to another. Ideally I should be able to call an XQuery function external to the transformation.

Does anyone have any pointers on this or is it a fundamental limitation of the OSB XQuery implementation?

regards

Mark,

You're in luck. HTML DB has quite comprehensive translation capabilities. For what you're trying to do, I'd keep the column header text defined in the report attributes rather than in the query itself through an alias. Column headers, like most other attributes in HTML DB are translatable text strings.

You may want to take a look at the user's guide to see how tranlations work.

Sergio,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I think I understand your answer, but I'm not sure how to test it.

Suppose I want to display the results of the following in
Chinese

SELECT ename "name", sal "salary"
FROM EMP;

Can I assume this will create a report with chinese
column names ?

How to test this ?

best regards,

Mark,

There is more to it than that. You'll need to translate (or have someone translate) the strings you want to appear in a different language. Then, you'll need to make your application aware that a translation exists and define when and when you want the translated version to be used instead of the original version.

The steps are outlined in the user's guide under the heading "Understanding the Translation Process" Let me know if you have trouble finding it.

Sergio,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I will read this and perhaps ask you some follow up questions to confirm my understanding.
