Hello,

I'm also trying to import certain fields of an xml-file into an existing sql table (neutc_import).
Problem is: I get '0 rows affected' when I execute the query below.
In the end I need to have mac-address and tcname for every machine in table neutc_import.

I'm sure the query is wrong at least regarding the "Cross Apply" statement.
As you can see I am not very experienced with this type of stuff - so your
help is really appreciated - maybe just a small adjustment necessary (?)

query:

INSERT INTO neutc_import(macaddr,tcname)
SELECT X.a.query('MACAddress').value('.', 'varchar(50)'),
X.a.query('ComputerName').value('.', 'VARCHAR(50)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'E:\scout_import\DSBU010995_Imdly_2_HwInfo.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('records/record') AS X(a);

referenced xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hi,
I think the main thing that you was missing was the namespace declaration. I have also made a couple of minor alterations, namely the cross apply and removing the .query() methods in the select statement. I have come up with the following that gets the MAC address and the computer name from the example xml

WITH xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'urn:schemas-ts-fujitsu-com:software-preload')
SELECT X.a.value('(SystemIdentification/MACAddresses/MACAddress/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(30)') AS 'MAC',
X.a.value('(OrderAttachements/PositionSpecificData/ClientParameters/ComputerName/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'd:\ExampleXml.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Systems/System') AS X(a);

As I don't know the full schema of the XML, I wasn't sure if any of the nodes in the xpath repeat, but this should at least help get you on track.
