SQL-Server XML-Bulk-Import and reading as table-data - sql-server

Question

I have the following Problem:
For the XML-Import into SQL-Sever, I use this code:
DROP TABLE XMLwithOpenXML
CREATE TABLE XMLwithOpenXML
(
Id INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
XMLData XML,
LoadedDateTime DATETIME
)
INSERT INTO XMLwithOpenXML(XMLData, LoadedDateTime)
SELECT CONVERT(XML, BulkColumn) AS BulkColumn, GETDATE()
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK '\\WINSER1\\proALPHA\\templates_eBus\\Test.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS x;
DECLARE #XML AS XML, #hDoc AS INT, #SQL NVARCHAR (MAX)
SELECT #XML = XMLData FROM XMLwithOpenXML
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument #hDoc OUTPUT, #XML
It works fine. But here in the XML, I don't know, what should I do:
<MIME_INFO>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>ube105252.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>normal</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>1</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>bbd372670.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>logo</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>2</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
</MIME_INFO>
An user of me, needs both <MIME>-Blocks. But they are named the same!
How can I get this 8 rows contented in the 2 <Mime>-Tags? Rename is not the solution, because the XML has over 2.000.000 rows!
THX.
EDIT 16:20
Here the rest of the code above. With this tags it works fine:
DECLARE #XML AS XML, #hDoc AS INT, #SQL NVARCHAR (MAX)
SELECT #XML = XMLData FROM XMLwithOpenXML
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument #hDoc OUTPUT, #XML
SELECT [SUPPLIER_AID]
,REFERENCE_FEATURE_SYSTEM_NAME
,REFERENCE_FEATURE_GROUP_ID
FROM OPENXML(#hDoc, 'BMECAT/T_NEW_CATALOG/ARTICLE')
--FROM OPENXML(#hDoc, 'BMECAT/T_NEW_CATALOG/ARTICLE/ARTICLE_ORDER_DETAILS')
--## Hier werden die gewünschten Columns deklariert.
WITH
(
SUPPLIER_AID [varchar](25) 'SUPPLIER_AID'
,REFERENCE_FEATURE_SYSTEM_NAME [varchar](25) 'REFERENCE_FEATURE_SYSTEM_NAME'
,REFERENCE_FEATURE_GROUP_ID [varchar](25) 'REFERENCE_FEATURE_GROUP_ID'
)

I still don't understand your code, because you use not the real table "XMLwithOpenXML". Hier is one article of ~ 20.000 in the XML:
<BMECAT>
<T_NEW_CATALOG>
<ARTICLE mode="new">
<SUPPLIER_AID>9900026005</SUPPLIER_AID>
<MIME_INFO>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>ube105252.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>normal</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>1</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>bbd372670.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>logo</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>2</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>ube305149.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>logo</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>3</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>ube108453.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>others</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>4</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>application/pdf</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>ube007100.pdf</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>others</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>5</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
</MIME_INFO>
</ARTICLE>
</T_NEW_CATALOG>
</BMECAT>
You see there is one SUPPLIER_AID and four times a <MIME>-tag. I need only the first and the second (where normal and logo). What is in this case with the SUPPLIER_AID? I think the code has to look like:
WITH Numbered AS
(
SELECT LoadedDateTime
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS ID
--,a.query('.') AS SUPPLIER_AID
,m.query('.') AS mime
FROM XMLwithOpenXML AS t
CROSS APPLY t.XMLData.nodes('BMECAT/T_NEW_CATALOG/ARTICLE/MIME_INFO/MIME') AS A(m)
)
SELECT ID
--,[SUPPLIER_AID].value('(ARTICLE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS SUPPLIER_AID
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_TYPE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_TYPE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_SOURCE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_SOURCE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_PURPOSE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_PURPOSE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_ORDER)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_ORDER
FROM Numbered
With the new code, I get this:
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
|MIME_TYPE |MIME_SOURCE |MIME_PURPOSE |MIME_ORDER |
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
|image/jpeg |ube105252.jpg |normal |1 |
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
|image/jpeg |bbd372670.jpg |logo |2 |
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
|image/jpeg |ube105252.jpg |logo |3 |
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
|image/jpeg |bbd372670.jpg |others |4 |
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
|image/jpeg |bbd372670.jpg |others |5 |
+-----------+--------------+-------------+-----------+
But what I need is something like:
+-------------+------------+------------------+--------------+-------------+
|SUPPLIER_AID | MIME_TYPE | MIME_SOURCE | MIME_PURPOSE | MIME_ORDER |
+-------------+------------+------------------+--------------+-------------+
|9900026005 | image/jpeg | ube105252.jpg | normal | 1 |
+-------------+------------+------------------+--------------+-------------+
|9900026005 | image/jpeg | bbd372670.jpg | logo | 2 |
+-------------+------------+------------------+--------------+-------------+

Answer 1

Your approach with FROM OPENXML is outdated and should not be used any more. There are much better XML methods like .node(), .value(), .query() and .modify().
The way you get the XML into your table is quite OK. Once you have it there, you should continue like this:
Attention I use a declared mock-up-table to simulate your table.
DECLARE #XMLwithOpenXML TABLE(XMLData XML,LoadedDateTime DATETIME);
INSERT INTO #XMLwithOpenXML VALUES
('<MIME_INFO>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>ube105252.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>normal</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>1</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
<MIME>
<MIME_TYPE>image/jpeg</MIME_TYPE>
<MIME_SOURCE>bbd372670.jpg</MIME_SOURCE>
<MIME_PURPOSE>logo</MIME_PURPOSE>
<MIME_ORDER>2</MIME_ORDER>
</MIME>
</MIME_INFO>',GETDATE());
At this point, your XML is successfully taken into your table
The CTE "Numbered" will read all MIME elements using .nodes() in there inherent order and number them accordingly.
The SELECT pulls the actual data
WITH Numbered AS
(
SELECT LoadedDateTime
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS ID
,m.query('.') AS mime
FROM #XMLwithOpenXML AS t
CROSS APPLY t.XMLData.nodes('/MIME_INFO/MIME') AS A(m)
)
SELECT ID
,LoadedDateTime
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_TYPE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_TYPE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_SOURCE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_SOURCE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_PURPOSE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_PURPOSE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_ORDER)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_ORDER
FROM Numbered
The result
+----+-------------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+------------+
| ID | LoadedDateTime | MIME_TYPE | MIME_SOURCE | MIME_PURPOSE | MIME_ORDER |
+----+-------------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+------------+
| 1 | 2016-09-15 16:37:30.730 | image/jpeg | ube105252.jpg | normal | 1 |
+----+-------------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+------------+
| 2 | 2016-09-15 16:37:30.730 | image/jpeg | bbd372670.jpg | logo | 2 |
+----+-------------------------+------------+---------------+--------------+------------+
UPDATE
You did not show the full XML... With the example given above this code extracts all you might want to knwo:
WITH Numbered AS
(
SELECT Id
,LoadedDateTime
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS MimeRowNr
,a.value('#mode','nvarchar(max)') ARTICLE_MODE
,a.value('SUPPLIER_AID[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS SUPPLIER_AID
,m.query('.') AS mime
FROM XMLwithOpenXML AS t
CROSS APPLY t.XMLData.nodes('/BMECAT/T_NEW_CATALOG/ARTICLE') AS A(a)
CROSS APPLY a.nodes('MIME_INFO/MIME') AS B(m)
)
SELECT Id
,MimeRowNr
,LoadedDateTime
,ARTICLE_MODE
,SUPPLIER_AID
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_TYPE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_TYPE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_SOURCE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_SOURCE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_PURPOSE)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS MIME_PURPOSE
,mime.value('(MIME/MIME_ORDER)[1]','int') AS MIME_ORDER
FROM Numbered;
The result
+----+-----------+-------------------------+--------------+--------------+-----------------+---------------+--------------+------------+
| Id | MimeRowNr | LoadedDateTime | ARTICLE_MODE | SUPPLIER_AID | MIME_TYPE | MIME_SOURCE | MIME_PURPOSE | MIME_ORDER |
