dbg:eval( $xquery as xs:string, [$vars as item()*], [$options as (element()|map:map)?] ) as xs:unsignedLong
Summary
Evaluate a string as an XQuery for debugging. Module evaluation will be
stopped at the start of the first expression. Returns the
request ID after creating the request. Requests evaluated for debugging
with dbg:eval are evaluated on the task server, not on the
App Server in which they are initiated.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
| xquery | The XQuery string to be evaluated. If the XQuery string contains double quotes ("), surround the string with single quotes ('). |
| vars | The external variable values for this evaluation. This must be a sequence of even length, alternating QNames and items. Each QName and item pair specify a variable name and value. |
| options |
The options node. The default value is ().
The node for the dbg:eval options must be in the
xdmp:eval namespace. See the
xdmp:eval section for a list of
options.

The "update" option is not supported.
Example
dbg:eval("1+1")
=> The ID of the request stopped for debugging
(for example, 1767394036047154157). The
request is evaluated on the task server, and
you can use the ID to pass into one of the other
debug functions (for example, dbg:continue or
dbg:step) to debug the request.
Example
xquery version "1.0-ml";
dbg:eval("xdmp:log(xs:string(xdmp:estimate(doc())))", (),
<options xmlns="xdmp:eval">
<database>{xdmp:database("Documents")}</database>
</options>
)
=> The ID of the request stopped for debugging
(for example, 13942194686892174312). The
request is evaluated on the task server, and
this request will use the "Documents" database
as its context database. You can use the ID to
pass into one of the other debug functions
(for example, dbg:continue or dbg:step) to
debug the request.
