XML 查询、排序导致 BaseX 错误 "Item expected, sequence found"

XML query, order by causing error "Item expected, sequence found" in BaseX

我正在使用 mondial database,它既可以作为 SQL 也可以作为 XML,但是我对我的问题感兴趣的部分如下:

问题是我想为以下问题编写一个查询: 显示瑞典各省 (län) 的名称、人口和首府,按人口最多的顺序排列。

到目前为止,我所做的是在 XQuery 中编写了以下内容:

let $mondial := db:open('mondial')
for $x in $mondial/mondial/country[name="Sweden"]
let $pop := $x/province/population
return $pop/string()

这给了我所有瑞典人口的省份,这些省份工作正常,然后我在查询中添加了以下内容:

let $mondial := db:open('mondial')
for $x in $mondial/mondial/country[name="Sweden"]
let $pop := $x/province/population
let $cname := $x/province/name
let $cap := $x/province/city[@is_state_cap="yes"]/name
return ($cname/string(), $pop/string(), $cap/string())

这也很好用,并给出了省份名称、人口和首都名称,但是当我尝试以这种方式按人口添加顺序时:

let $mondial := db:open('mondial')
for $x in $mondial/mondial/country[name="Sweden"]
let $pop := $x/province/population
let $cname := $x/province/name
let $cap := $x/province/city[@is_state_cap="yes"]/name
order by $pop 
return ($cname/string(), $pop/string(), $cap/string())

BaseX 报错

Item expected, sequence found: (element population {....}, ...)

我似乎不明白为什么。 我还尝试在 order by 之后添加 /string(),并尝试添加降序,但到目前为止没有成功。

order by 每次循环迭代需要一个项目。当您遍历所有国家而不是瑞典的省份时,您会得到每个瑞典省份的人口序列。

改为遍历各省。在下面的代码中我改变了两件事:

  • 遍历省份而不是国家,因此也调整了子元素的检索(删除了 /province 轴步骤)
  • 更改为合理的变量名称。 $x 是一个省份 最糟糕的 变量名称之一。如果您使用说出变量名称,您甚至可能自己意识到了这个问题,因为第一行会指示将国家分配给各省。
let $mondial := db:open('mondial')
for $province in $mondial/mondial/country[name="Sweden"]/province
let $population := $province/population
let $name := $province/name
let $capital := $province/city[@is_state_cap="yes"]/name
order by $population
return ($name/string(), $population/string(), $capital/string())
