Hi Leo,

You are completely right. The problem is that your original document
uses the default namespace "http://www.mygym.com", and your query uses
"http://www.gym.com". In other words, the error is raised because the
namespace binding of your target name conflicts with the existing
namespace binding.
Here is a recursive approach to change the default namespace of a document:
______________________________________
declare function local:update($root as node(), $ns as xs:string) {
if($root instance of element()) then (
element { QName($ns, local-name($root)) } {
$root/@*,
for $node in $root/node()
return local:update($node, $ns)
}
) else (
$root
)
};
let $ns := 'http://www.gym.com'
let $root := doc("FitnessCenter.xml")/*
let $updated := local:update($root, $ns)
return replace node $root with $updated
______________________________________
Hope this helps,
Christian
