Re: [Qexo-general] Namespace definition in Output data.

[Suraj Kumar]

I tried <query xmlns:zb="xyz>, However the compilation of  query fails with
reason that  xmlns is unknown namespace.

After declaring xmlns as a namespace and mapping to  URI
http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace, the query compiled fine and the
resulting root tag had hard coded name space definition.

Thanks for your help.
