如何在SQL Server中的xml列中查询xml值

Question

I have something like following code inside [XMLValue] column of a table called "AlgorithmLog":

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AdapterInfo xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"     
            xmlns:d1p1="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Adapters.Adapter.CloudTrader"    
            xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Adapters.Adapter"  
            i:type="d1p1:AlgorithmStatusReport">
    <SequenceNumber>0</SequenceNumber>
    <TrackingGuid i:nil="true" />
    <d1p1:Broker>Default</d1p1:Broker>
    ...
       <d1p1:XMLValue>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;&lt;int xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/"&gt;1900&lt;/int&gt;</d1p1:XMLValue>
</AdapterInfo>

and I want to get the value "1900" inside the node <d1p1:XMLValue>

So here is my query:

WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Adapters.Adapter' AS x, 
                   'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Adapters.Adapter.CloudTrader' As p,
                   'http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/'as w)
   SELECT  
       XMLValue.query('(/x:AdapterInfo/p:XMLValue/w:int)[1]')AS [XMLVaule]
   FROM AlgorithmLog 

But it returns nothing.

Could anyone tell me where I did wrong or how I can do it?

Thank you.

Since you have "encoded" XML inside another XML node, and you cannot automatically cast to the XML datatype using the .value() XQuery method, it all gets a bit involved - but this seems to work for me:

;WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Adapters.Adapter' AS x, 
                    'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Adapters.Adapter.CloudTrader' As p,
                    'http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/'as w)
   SELECT  
       CAST(XmlContent.value('(/x:AdapterInfo/p:XMLValue)[1]', 'varchar(2000)') AS XML).value('(w:int)[1]', 'int') AS [XMLValue]
   FROM AlgorithmLog
   WHERE .......  -- use whatever condition makes sense for you here
