[Steve Hawkins (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-980?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12529379#action_12529379 ] 

Steve Hawkins commented on TEIID-980:
-------------------------------------

I'm not sure I follow the exact scenario.  Are they using a file connector and want to preprocess xml to text, or are they using one of the xml source connectors and want to preprocess there?  The former seems more like a business process, the later can be handled with the new xsltransform function to apply a stylesheet with a system function.

> XML data source contains a varying unknown number of "word" elements inside a "segment" that they wish to convert to a single string on the data source side.  XQuery did not meet their needs and trying to do a concat fails due to the unknown number of elements.  They would like to be able to apply the stylesheet before querying against the file to be able to retrieve a single paragraph, rather than attempt to piece together an unknown number of elements.
