[MarkLogic Dev General] max function alternatives UPDATED

[Patrick Force]

OK, so I've successfully set up the attribute index in ANOTHER  
INSTANCE of MarkLogic we have running here and verified that the query:

max(for $i in cts:element-attribute-values(xs:QName 
('InsurancePolicy'),xs:QName('index')) return xs:int($i))

is working correctly.  It must be something related specifically to  
our install on the development machine where I was doing all of my  
work.  I think we'll just start looking into settings install  
procedures followed for that instance in particular.  Any ideas on  
what would cause this problem in the install would be appreciated,  
but for all intents and purposes, we can consider the context of the  
issue closed.  Thanks for the help everyone!
