  Hi,

  I have to migrate some data of a SQL table to XML. Now I have to convert a table column of type bit to a XML element of type Boolean.

  |IsSet|

  1

  0

  to

  <root>

  <IsSet>True</IsSet>

  <IsSet>False</IsSet>

  </root>

  How can I achieve this?

  Regards,

  Andreas

  Would something like the following code do the job?

  DECLARE @t TABLE (IsSet bit)

  INSERT INTO @t SELECT 1 UNION ALL SELECT 0

  SELECT

  CASE WHEN IsSet=0 THEN 'False' ELSE 'True' END AS IsSet

  FROM @t

  FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE, ELEMENTS, ROOT('root')

  /* result set:

  <root>

  <IsSet>True</IsSet>

  <IsSet>False</IsSet>

  </root>

  */
