Hey All -
I'm stuck while trying to write a schema, hoping someone can provide me
with a flash of inspiration.
One of the elements I'm writing has two attributes, both of which are
optional. I want to express in the schema that there's a relationship
between the two -- that the second attribute is optional only if the
first one is not specified. ie:
<myElement /> <!-- valid -->
<myElement name="A" /> <!-- valid -->
<myElement myattr="true" /> <!-- invalid because name wasn't specified
-->
<myElement myattr="true" name="A" /> <!-- valid -->
So far my schema looks like this:
<element name="myElement ">
<complexType>
<attribute name="name" type="string" use="optional" />
<attribute name="myattr" type="boolean" use="optional"
default="false" />
</complexType>
</element>
That captures the default values and the optional nature of the two
elements, but it doesn't capture the relationship between the two. Is
there any xsd construct I can use to express the relationship? I know
how to do it with elements (xsd:group, xsd:choice) but not with
attributes.
Thanks for any thoughts.

I don't think that a W3C XML schema can express such constraints between
attributes. Other schema languages are more powerful in that regard, for
instance schematron should allow that.

Hi,
I don't think you can do it using attributes. But you can express it
using elements : use a <xs:choice> within a <xs:sequence> This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi,
Do you guys know what's wrong with a one-to-one relationship?
The reason I want to make it like this is that at the very end of the chain,
the set of keys is huge. I want to limit the number of columns to be the
key. i.e. the table has 1 column as the key. The
table will have 2 columns as the key.

All,
I would like to implement a recursive relationship in a table with
referential integrity enforced and cascade update turned on.
For example, a horse has a sire and dam. Both the sire and the dam
must be horses and, therefore, drawn from the same domain.
Is it possible to implement this recursive relationship in Access 97
having "Sire" and "Dam" attributes in the "Horse" table?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
