09:00 - You write the above query and store it as a procedure.
10:00 - I create a table named T_Rats and insert john whose age is 2.
11:00 - I run your procedure that you created at 9:00.

Your query fails because "your_table" doesn't exist.

The following XDb2 query written at 09:00 finds the rat at 11:00. SELECT2 %.age & %.name=john; Received on Mon Nov 15 2004 - 15:32:17 CST
