fn functions (Sequence)

These built-in functions are XQuery functions defined to operate on sequences. They are defined in XQuery 1.0 and XPath 2.0 Functions and Operators.

26 functions
Function name Description
fn.avg Returns the average of the values in the input sequence $arg, that is, the sum of the values divided by the number of values.
fn.boolean Computes the effective boolean value of the sequence $arg.
fn.collection Returns all of the documents that belong to the specified collection(s).
fn.count Returns the number of items in the value of $arg.
fn.deepEqual This function assesses whether two sequences are deep-equal to each other.
fn.distinctValues Returns the sequence that results from removing from $arg all but one of a set of values that are eq to one other.
fn.doc Returns the document(s) stored in the database at the specified URI(s).
fn.docAvailable If fn:doc($uri) returns a document node, this function returns true.
fn.empty If the value of $arg is the empty sequence, the function returns true; otherwise, the function returns false.
fn.exactlyOne Returns $arg if it contains exactly one item.
fn.exists If the value of $arg is not the empty sequence, the function returns true; otherwise, the function returns false.
fn.head Returns the first item in a sequence.
fn.id Returns the sequence of element nodes that have an ID value matching the value of one or more of the IDREF values supplied in $arg.
fn.idref Returns the sequence of element or attribute nodes that have an IDREF value matching the value of one or more of the ID values supplied in $arg.
fn.indexOf Returns a sequence of positive integers giving the positions within the sequence $seqParam of items that are equal to $srchParam.
fn.insertBefore Returns a new sequence constructed from the value of $target with the value of $inserts inserted at the position specified by the value of $position.
fn.max Selects an item from the input sequence $arg whose value is greater than or equal to the value of every other item in the input sequence.
fn.min Selects an item from the input sequence $arg whose value is less than or equal to the value of every other item in the input sequence.
fn.oneOrMore Returns $arg if it contains one or more items.
fn.remove Returns a new sequence constructed from the value of $target with the item at the position specified by the value of $position removed.
fn.reverse Reverses the order of items in a sequence.
fn.subsequence Returns the contiguous sequence of items in the value of $sourceSeq beginning at the position indicated by the value of $startingLoc and continuing for the number of items indicated by the value of $length.
fn.sum Returns a value obtained by adding together the values in $arg.
fn.tail Returns all but the first item in a sequence.
fn.unordered Returns the items of $sourceSeq in an implementation dependent order.
fn.zeroOrOne Returns $arg if it contains zero or one items.
