fn functions (Error and Trace)

The error and trace built-in functions are XQuery functions defined for throwing errors from XQuery programs and debug tracing. They are defined in XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators.

The error and trace built-in functions use the fn namespace prefix, which is predefined in the server. Also, the fn prefix is the default prefix for function calls if none is specified.
