Consider this very very simple stylesheet :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; xmlns:sql="http://apache.org/cocoon/SQL/2.0";>

        <xsl:template match="/root">
        <root/>
        </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The transformer automatically copies the sql: namespace definition into the root node produced after the transformation.

Because you left the sql: namespace node attached to the <root/> literal result element in your stylesheet. All attached namespace nodes on literal result elements are copied to the result tree by definition of XSLT.

I want to disable that, how can I do ?

By pruning the namespace nodes off the literal result elements in the stylesheet tree using the exclude-result-prefixes= attribute.

I hope this helps.
