I have the following xquery piece, I'm trying to test outside of my t-sql script:
DECLARE #x XML
SELECT #x = N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Root xmlns="http://www.w3.org">
<Header>
<Record>
<A99>
<A99_01_0>
<A99_01>TEST</A99_01>
<A99_02>TEST</A99_02>
<A99_03>TEST</A99_03>
</A99_01_0>
</A99>
</Record>
</Header>
</Root>
';
select #x.exist('//Header/Record/A99/A99_01_0/A99_01')
I simply want to check if there is a value between the A99_01 tags, which there is. But according to my exist(), my output keeps coming back as 0, indicating that it doesn't exist.
Is there something I'm missing? I've double checked to make sure my syntax for the exist() is correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes - you're missing the XML namespace defined in your XML document!
SELECT #x = N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Root xmlns="http://www.w3.org">
*************************
You need to change your SELECT to:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'http://www.w3.org')
SELECT
#x.exist('//Header/Record/A99/A99_01_0/A99_01')

How to access "datefrom" value from below XML? Have try almost everything but without success :(
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns0:getInterestAndExchangeRatesResponse xmlns:ns0="http://swea.riksbank.se/xsd">
<return>
<datefrom>2020-03-05</datefrom>
<dateto>2020-03-05</dateto>
</return>
</ns0:getInterestAndExchangeRatesResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
You need to respect the XML namespaces in play - but once you do, this should work for you:
DECLARE #Data XML = '....(your XML here).....';
-- define the two XML namespaces in play
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope' AS soap,
'http://swea.riksbank.se/xsd'AS ns)
SELECT
#Data.value('(soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns:getInterestAndExchangeRatesResponse/return/datefrom)[1]', 'varchar(20)')
This will return something like:
2020-03-05
I am trying to learn how to work with xml files and data in SQL Server and I'm trying to query an xml file but nothing is returned.
Here is the xml data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Report xmlns="AdmissionsByPCP" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Name="AdmissionsByPCP" xsi:schemaLocation="AdmissionsByPCP http://10.xxx.x.xx/ReportServer_NameofReportServer?%2FHl%20C%20Syst%20Reports%2health%2FAdmissBy&rs%3ACommand=Render&rs%3AFormat=XML&rs%3ASessionID=h0iz5ijxgt2vdl45g3pjfs45&rc%3ASchema=True">
<Tablix2>
<Details_Collection>
<Details PCPCarrier="DoctorsName">
<Subreport1>
<Report Name="PCPAdmitSubReport">
<Tablix5 Textbox5="79">
<Details_Collection>
<Details Textbox37="Discharge Dx Code: ICDCode" Textbox89="Admit Dx Code: ICDCode" LOS="4" DischargeDate="07/10/2017" AdmitDate="07/06/2017" Hospital="Hospital Name" MemberName="Name" DOB="1/1/2019" AdmissionType="Inpatient" MemberNo="12345" Auth="321*I" Status="Close" AdmissionID="00001" LobName="Medicare" CarrierName="CarrierName"/>
</Details></Details_Collection></Tablix5></Report></Subreport1></Details></Details_Collection></Tablix2></Report>
Here is the query I'm using:
Declare #XMLData as XML
Set #XMLData=(
Select bulkcolumn
FROM OPENROWSET (Bulk '\Directory\AdmissionsByPCP.xml',
Single_Blob) a)
Select
#XMLData.value('(/Root/Report/Tablix2/Detail_Collections/DetailsPCPCarrier) [1]', 'varchar(max)') PCP
The query returns null and I don't know why. Is it because there is a space in the node (<Details PCPCarrier>) and if so how do I work around that?
You have misunderstood how XML works. This is the node you are looking for:
<Details PCPCarrier="DoctorsName">
This is not a node called Details PCPCarrier; it is a node called Details with an attribute called PCPCarrier.
So the XPath to select it would be:
/Root/Report/Tablix2/Detail_Collections/Details
Or, if you want to specifically filter by the PCPCarrier attribute existing:
/Root/Report/Tablix2/Detail_Collections/Details[#PCPCarrier]
Or, to get the value of the attribute itself:
/Root/Report/Tablix2/Detail_Collections/Details/#PCPCarrier
IMSoP pointed me in the right direction and I figured out the rest myself.
I also needed to add this:
With XMLNAMESPACES (Default 'AdmissionsByPCP')
So the query looks like this:
Declare #XMLData as XML
Set #XMLData=(
Select *
FROM OPENROWSET (Bulk '\\Directory\AdmissionsByPCP.xml',
Single_Clob) a );
With XMLNAMESPACES (Default 'AdmissionsByPCP')
Select
#XMLData.value('(/Report/Tablix2/Details_Collection/Details/#PCPCarrier)
[1]', 'varchar(max)')
I am trying to output SQL as XML to match the exact format as the following
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Here is my query:

)
FROM

How do I add in the Following and have the ProrateImport/20151009" change to the current date?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ProrateImport xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

This is my first time I have used XML
Im not sure i understand. Did you create the first XML yourself and just need to add the last script?
DECLARE #XMLHEADER nvarchar(max)
SET #XMLHEADER = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ProrateImport xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/'+convert(varchar(8),getdate(),112)+'"
>'
select #xmlheader
And then you just need to add the rest of your output from your select statement.
There are several problems:
How to introduce namespaces?
How to introduce namespaces dynamically
How to add a <?xml ?> directive
two-leveled root (<ProrateImport><Prorate>)
namespaces
You have to use WITH XMLNAMESSPACES to introduce a namespace to your query.
Hint: the naked xmlns is introduced by DEFAULT, the xsi namespace will be introduced automatically by using ELEMENTS XSINIL:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' AS xsd
,DEFAULT 'http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/20151009')
SELECT 1 AS Dummy
FOR XML PATH('rowElement'), ELEMENTS XSINIL, ROOT('root')
The result
<root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/20151009"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<rowElement>
<Dummy>1</Dummy>
</rowElement>
</root>
Note: The namespaces must be stated literally. No computations, no variables!
dynamic namespaces
This is - out of the box - impossible. But you might use dynamically created SQL and use EXEC to get your result. Just create exactly the statement as above
DECLARE #cmd VARCHAR(MAX)=
'
WITH XMLNAMESPACES(''http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'' AS xsd
,DEFAULT ''http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),112) + ''')
SELECT 1 AS Dummy
FOR XML PATH(''rowElement''), ELEMENTS XSINIL, ROOT(''root'')';
PRINT #cmd
EXEC(#cmd);
the result
<root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/20171019"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<rowElement>
<Dummy>1</Dummy>
</rowElement>
</root>
directive
The directive cannot be introduced into XML. SQL-Server will omit any <?xml ?> directive! This can only be done on string level:
DECLARE #cmd VARCHAR(MAX)=
'
WITH XMLNAMESPACES(''http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'' AS xsd
,DEFAULT ''http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),GETDATE(),112) + ''')
SELECT(
SELECT 1 AS Dummy
FOR XML PATH(''rowElement''), ELEMENTS XSINIL, ROOT(''root'')) AS MyResult';
CREATE TABLE #resultTable(MyXmlAsString VARCHAR(MAX))
INSERT INTO #resultTable(MyXmlAsString)
EXEC(#cmd);
SELECT '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' + MyXmlAsString
FROM #resultTable;
The result
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://schema.aldi-sued.com/Logistics/Shipping/ProrateImport/20171019"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<rowElement>
<Dummy>1</Dummy>
</rowElement>
</root>
two-leveled root
You can nest two FOR XML statements to achieve this:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'blah')
SELECT
(
SELECT 1 AS Dummy
FOR XML PATH('rowElement'),ROOT('innerRoot'),TYPE
)
FOR XML PATH('outerRoot');
But the annoying part is, that namespaces are introduced by each sub-select over and over. Not wrong but very annoying! A well known Microsoft connect issue. Please sign in and vote for it! The result:
<outerRoot xmlns="blah">
<innerRoot xmlns="blah"> <!--Here's the second xmlns! -->
<rowElement>
<Dummy>1</Dummy>
</rowElement>
</innerRoot>
</outerRoot>
Your solution
After explained all this I'd suggest to create the XML without any namespace or declaration (what you are doing already!), then convert the result to NVARCHAR(MAX) and add the header and the closing footer on string level. This is ugly, but in your case the only way.
Hint: You will not be able to store the final result in a native XML type in SQL Server without loosing the directive.
I want to set a processing instruction to include a stylesheet on top of an XML:
The same issue was with the xml-declaration (e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>)
Desired result:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>
<TestPath>
<Test>Test</Test>
<SomeMore>SomeMore</SomeMore>
</TestPath>
My research brought me to node test syntax and processing-instruction().
This
SELECT 'type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"' AS [processing-instruction(xml-stylesheet)]
,'Test' AS Test
,'SomeMore' AS SomeMore
FOR XML PATH('TestPath')
produces this:
<TestPath>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>
<Test>Test</Test>
<SomeMore>SomeMore</SomeMore>
</TestPath>
All hints I found tell me to convert the XML to VARCHAR, concatenate it "manually" and convert it back to XML. But this is - how to say - ugly?
This works obviously:
SELECT CAST(
'<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>
<TestPath>
<Test>Test</Test>
<SomeMore>SomeMore</SomeMore>
</TestPath>' AS XML);
Is there a chance to solve this?
There is another way, which will need two steps but don't need you to treat the XML as string anywhere in the process :
declare #result XML =
(
SELECT
'Test' AS Test,
'SomeMore' AS SomeMore
FOR XML PATH('TestPath')
)
set #result.modify('
insert <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>
before /*[1]
')
Sqlfiddle Demo
The XQuery expression passed to modify() function tells SQL Server to insert the processing instruction node before the root element of the XML.
UPDATE :
Found another alternative based on the following thread : Merge the two xml fragments into one? . I personally prefer this way :
SELECT CONVERT(XML, '<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="stylesheet.xsl"?>'),
(
SELECT
'Test' AS Test,
'SomeMore' AS SomeMore
FOR XML PATH('TestPath')
)
FOR XML PATH('')
Sqlfiddle Demo
As it came out, har07's great answer does not work with an XML-declaration. The only way I could find was this:
DECLARE #ExistingXML XML=
(
SELECT
'Test' AS Test,
'SomeMore' AS SomeMore
FOR XML PATH('TestPath'),TYPE
);
DECLARE #XmlWithDeclaration NVARCHAR(MAX)=
(
SELECT N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
+
CAST(#ExistingXml AS NVARCHAR(MAX))
);
SELECT #XmlWithDeclaration;
You must stay in the string line after this step, any conversion to real XML will either give an error (when the encoding is other then UTF-16) or will omit this xml-declaration.
I have the following simple XML fragment shown below. What would the T-SQL look like if I wanted to just extract the 'EntityFriendlyName' attribute?
<SimpleRuleValue xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<EntityId>0</EntityId>
<EntityFriendlyName>ALine</EntityFriendlyName>
</SimpleRuleValue>
It would be something like this:
SELECT CAST(X.SomeXML AS XML).value('(SimpleRuleValue/EntityFriendlyName)[1]','nvarchar(1000)') AS EntityFriendlyName
FROM XmlSource X
Edit:
A little more information.
Here's one way:
declare #x xml
set #x = '<SimpleRuleValue xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<EntityId>0</EntityId>
<EntityFriendlyName>ALine</EntityFriendlyName>
</SimpleRuleValue>'
select #x.query('data(SimpleRuleValue/EntityFriendlyName)')
