Re: [xsl] Selection help

Please be careful ... your sample XSLT is not even well-formed XML!

But I *think* what you're looking for is to execute a template for a
<column> iff its @name is the same as the @name of a
constraint/childKey, yes?  If so,

  <xsl:template match="/root">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="table">
      <xsl:sort/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>
  </xsl:template>
  
  <xsl:template match="table">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="column[@name eq
    current()/constraint[@type='FOREIGN']/childKey/@name]"/>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="column">
    <!-- DO STUFF HERE -->
  </xsl:template>

ought to do the trick.
