1. <root>

     <tutorial>

       <title>XQuery Explained</title>

     </tutorial>

   </root>

This produces the following output, which is fully self-explanatory – it simply copies the XML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>

  <tutorial>

    <title>XQuery Explained</title>

  </tutorial>

</root>

2. <root>

   <childnode></childnode>

   { IF document("xqt")//title[1] < "xxx" THEN

     <yes/> ELSE <no/> }

   </root>

This xquery produces the following output:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>

  <childnode/>

  <yes/>

</root>
