hi,
in following link
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175178.aspx
i found this cote
"This prefix is then used in the query body instead of the namespace URI"
this makes me fell that if i do not specify prefix then i have to use uri in place of prefix.
can any body give me an example of using uri in place of prefix.
yours sincerley

You don't actually need the name space or the "prefix" for it.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

that is fine that we do not need any , but i want to understand, that what he is trying to say.
if u read the part of aritcal, you will find he has used prefix, what i want to know is if we do not use prefix then how a query would be written (with uri).

if u read this line which is creating doubt "This prefix is then used in the query body instead of the namespace URI." that creates doubt , if i do not use prefix then we may have to use uri in place of it , this is where i need clarification and exampl.

The article is referring to the fact that you don't have to use qualified namespaces in many cases. IF you do have to use qualified namespaces OR the XML comes with namespaces defines, then you HAVE to have a prefix for it (or you set the one namespace as default), and then refer to the names it defines using the namespace prefix.

If you don't use custom types or reuse anything then chances are you wouldn't need to have the namespaces specified.
