// RelativeLocationPath

Description

Select nodes on the RelativeLocationPath starting at the document root, which is indicated by the initial //.

Note:
If you know the position of the node(s) to be selected in a document tree, the query will generally run faster. Example: If you want to know which type of medication has been used for the patients in the current database you need not use //therapy/type, but can use /patient/therapy/type instead.
