I would like to know how I could transform XML hierarchical data into tabular format and join with other relational database tables in SQL Server 2005 T-SQL (XPath/XQuery).
For instance,
<Employees>
<Employee ID="001" Name="David" />
<Employee ID="002" Name="Mike" />
<Employee ID="003" Name="Alex" />
<Employee ID="004" Name="Morris" />
</Employees>
To ..
ID Name
--------+--------
001 David
002 Mike
003 Alex
004 Morris
Thanks for your suggestion. :)
Here's one way:
declare @x xml
set @x = '<Employees>
<Employee ID="001" Name="David" />
<Employee ID="002" Name="Mike" />
<Employee ID="003" Name="Alex" />
<Employee ID="004" Name="Morris" />
</Employees>'
select emp.e.value('@ID','varchar(10)') as ID,
emp.e.value('@Name','varchar(10)') as Name
from @x.nodes('Employees/Employee') as emp(e)
Here is a slight variation on the answer Joe submitted earlier:
DECLARE @X xml
SET @X = '<Employees>
<Employee ID="001" Name="David" />
<Employee ID="002" Name="Mike" />
<Employee ID="003" Name="Alex" />
<Employee ID="004" Name="Morris" />
</Employees>'
SELECT
[Employee].value('@ID','int')As ID,
[Employee].value('@Name','varchar(10)') As Name
FROM
@x.nodes('/Employees/Employee') Employee([Employee])
This was done in MSSQL Server 2008 R2
I hopes this one helps you
declare @xml varchar(max)
SET @xml = '<Employees>
<Employee ID="001" Name="David" />
<Employee ID="002" Name="Mike" />
<Employee ID="003" Name="Alex" />
<Employee ID="004" Name="Morris" />
</Employees>'
Declare @documentHandler INT
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @documentHandler OUTPUT,@xml
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@documentHandler,'/Employees/Employee')
WITH (ID varchar(20),
Name varchar(150))
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @documentHandler
