The XQuery documentation focuses on XQuery as a language. However, as database queries are the principal means of communication with the database server, it might happen that you have a problem which arose because of a certain query. If you do not find the information in the XQuery documentation, you might have a look at the following sources of information, all of which also deal with aspects of querying a Tamino database:
