Hi,

A question almost identical to this was recently answered on the
developerworks Viper Forum.

http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...=118807&cat=19

Basically, a prolog itself is not enough, you need to follow it with
some xquery. The simplest query I used was the expression 3. So I
tried:

db2 -td%
xquery declare default element namespace "http://posample.org"; 3%
and this worked.

Note that since the ; is used to separate the prolog from the xquery
body, I changed the terminator to %.

I hope this helps, post if you still have trouble.
