Understanding XQuery Editor Layouts and Tasks

The XQuery Expression Editor, the XQuery Condition Editor, and the XPath Expression Editor are each composed of the following components:

Palettes

The left panel of the each editor contains the palettes listed below. In any of the editors, click the name of a palette to display it. Each palette contains entities that you can insert into expressions in the editors.

Workspace

The right side of the page provides a workspace for constructing the XQuery expression, XQuery condition, or XPath. The workspace is different in the three editors.

Property Inspector

In all three editors, the Property Inspector is displayed on the bottom right of the page. When you select an item from one of the palettes to add to the expression, that item appears in the Property Inspector. You can then paste the item into the workspace.
