    <p><strong>In XPath 1.0 one way to do this is by using the Kayessian method for node-set intersection</strong>:</p> <pre><code>$ns1[count(.|$ns2) = count($ns2)] </code></pre> <p>The above expression selects exactly the nodes that are part both of the node-set <code>$ns1</code> and the node-set <code>$ns2</code>.</p> <p><strong>To apply this to the specific question</strong> -- let's say we need to select all nodes between the 2nd and 3rd <code>h3</code> element in the following XML document:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Title T31&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;a31/&gt; &lt;b31/&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Title T32&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;a32/&gt; &lt;b32/&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Title T33&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;a33/&gt; &lt;b33/&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Title T34&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;a34/&gt; &lt;b34/&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Title T35&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>We have to substitute <code>$ns1</code> with</strong>:</p> <pre><code>/*/h3[2]/following-sibling::node() </code></pre> <p><strong>and to substitute <code>$ns2</code> with</strong>:</p> <pre><code>/*/h3[3]/preceding-sibling::node() </code></pre> <p><strong>Thus, the complete XPath expression is</strong>:</p> <pre><code>/*/h3[2]/following-sibling::node() [count(.|/*/h3[3]/preceding-sibling::node()) = count(/*/h3[3]/preceding-sibling::node()) ] </code></pre> <p><strong>We can verify that this is the correct XPath expression:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="/"&gt; &lt;xsl:copy-of select= "/*/h3[2]/following-sibling::node() [count(.|/*/h3[3]/preceding-sibling::node()) = count(/*/h3[3]/preceding-sibling::node()) ] "/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>When this transformation is applied on the XML document presented above, the wanted, correct result is produced</strong>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a32/&gt; &lt;b32/&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>II. XPath 2.0 solution</strong>:</p> <p><strong>Use the <code>intersect</code> operator</strong>:</p> <pre><code> /*/h3[2]/following-sibling::node() intersect /*/h3[3]/preceding-sibling::node() </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
