Nested FOR XML results with SQL Server’s PATH mode - sql-server

Question

I am creating an SSIS package where I am pulling data from a table and need to transform it to an XML file using these columns:
select
iqr_FirstName AS FIRSTNAME,
iqr_LastName AS LASTNAME,
iqr_Employer AS EMPLOYER,
iqr_Occupation AS OCCUPATION,
iqr_Line1 AS ADR1,
iqr_City AS CITY, iqr_State AS State,
iqr_Zip AS ZIP,
iqr_CCAmount AS AMOUNT, iqr_CreatedOn AS DATE
from
std7_ImportQueueRecord
for xml path('Individual')
My issue with nesting is I need separated nodes for the following template:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DATABASE name="cc_Sample">
<INDIVIDUAL>
<LASTNAME>last</LASTNAME>
<FIRSTNAME>first</FIRSTNAME>
<MIDDLE></MIDDLE>

I am not finding how to query multiple nodes as in my example.

Answer 1

You can try using this:
select
iqr_FirstName AS FIRSTNAME,
iqr_LastName AS LASTNAME,
iqr_Employer AS EMPLOYER,
iqr_Occupation AS OCCUPATION,
iqr_Line1 AS 'ADDRESS/ADR1',
iqr_City AS 'ADDRESS/CITY',
iqr_State AS 'ADDRESS/State',
iqr_Zip AS 'ADDRESS/ZIP',
iqr_CCAmount AS AMOUNT,
iqr_CreatedOn AS DATE
from
std7_ImportQueueRecord
for xml path('Individual')
to add extra structure (and XML elements) to your generated XML
