I've also tried with let keyword and define new variable but I don't know how to increase value of that variable

I've come across a problem in updating an SQL field in that what I've written works perfectly for xml nodes with a text present, however it trips up when the node is empty. <filemeta filetype="Video"> <heading>TEST</heading> <description /> </filemeta> This code works fine; UPDATE filemetaDB SET filemeta.modify('replace value of (/filemeta/heading/text())[1] with "TEST"'); However this breaks; UPDATE filemetaDB SET filemeta.modify('replace value of (/filemeta/description/text())[1] with "notworking!"'); Thanks for any help.
