I've attached both the xml and the xsd used and re-tested the importation and query against them with the same result. Thanks for looking into it! Could it be the same issue as this:

https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-93

??

My issue is a much simpler case, however. The query needn't be pushed down as apart of the planner over a federated view to cause the irregularity -- one need only query the XML source directly. 

Thanks again!

And just for giggles:

# xmllint --schema clients.xsd clients.xml 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<clients>
  <client>
    <name>acme</name>
    <rate>15</rate>
  </client>
  <client>
    <name>toolwerks</name>
    <rate>20</rate>
  </client>
</clients>
clients.xml validates

:-)

Hi Mike,

I've tried to reproduce this but get no root elements to select from during the import process.  Is it possible that the XSD pasted here is different from what you're using?

Is there something goofy with the equality operator against XML data? Is there flag that needs flipped on these attributes? I went with the "string" mapping on the 'XML Schema as Relational Source Model' dialog wizard (pane 4 IIRC). Oughtn't I have? I also changed XML node names that might have been SQL keywords ('name' -> 'fullname') but no dice...

Thoughts?
