Spenser,

OPS uses Saxon (currently Saxon 8.8 in the latest builds) for
oxf:xquery, so your question is better addressed to the saxon-help [1]
mailing-list. Also check the Saxon doc here:

   http://www.saxonica.com/documentation/using-xquery/intro.html

This said, I doubt Saxon would support what looks like a
database-specific, Microsoft-specific extension to XQuery.

Please let us know if you find more about what Saxon supports wrt updates.

Hi Erik,

Your doubt was right. Dr. Mike Kay replied on this regard at
https://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=3955386, especially the
last two paragraphs as quoted below:

However, the author does make a distinction between XQuery and XML-DML. The
modify method is clearly identified as part of XML-DML, not part of XQuery.
As far as I can see XML-DML is a Microsoft variation on the proposed SQL XML
extension, which adds an XML data type to SQL with a number of operations,
including the ability to execute XQuery statements.
 
Saxon's XQuery currently has no update capability. I'll probably wait until
the W3C XQuery update specifications are a bit more stable before providing
one: for a non-database implementation like Saxon it's not a high priority.

Regards,
 
Spenser
