I know how to do union's and spit out an XML file from different tables, however, I need to create a temp table that will house 3 records that I need to be a part of the XML File. The structure is exactly the same as the other tables.
How would I go about doing this?
select * from
(
select ID_Number as [ID], CLAST as [name/last], CFIRST as [name/first], '' as extension]
from dbo.users as a
union all
select PID as [ID], NID as [name/last], NAME as [name/first], PREF_TITLE as [extension]
from dbo.Person
) as a
FOR XML PATH('employee'), ROOT('employees')
So I would need 3 lines of data, which will fill ID, name/last, name/first and extension.
What would be the best recommendation?
Create the temp table, fill it and add it into the query as another UNION ALL
. There are different types of temporary table , here's some code that uses a table variable, the most simple type...
DECLARE @tempTable TABLE
(
ID int,
Surname varchar(30),
FirstName varchar(30),
Title varchar(30)
)
INSERT @tempTable VALUES (7, 'Siobhan', 'Green', 'Ms')
INSERT @tempTable VALUES (8, 'Paul', 'Jones', 'Mr')
INSERT @tempTable VALUES (9, 'Sam', 'Morrison', 'Mrs')
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT ID_Number as [ID], CLAST as [name/last], CFIRST as [name/first], '' as [extension]
FROM users as a
UNION ALL
SELECT PID, NID, NAME, PREF_TITLE
FROM Person
UNION ALL
SELECT ID, Surname, FirstName, Title
FROM @tempTable
) as a
FOR XML PATH('employee'), ROOT('employees')
