  I have this XML coming from a third party website I am trying to get the KeyID and ContentId values using xquery but it always returns NULL does anybody know how to work with this type of XML.

  Hi, you can do it by using a namespace. Here is a not so elegant way of getting the value out:

  DECLARE @xml XML = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <DataSet xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">

  <xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">

  <xs:element name="NewDataSet" msdata:IsDataSet="true" msdata:UseCurrentLocale="true">

  <xs:complexType>

  <xs:choice minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">

  <xs:element name="Table">

  <xs:complexType>

  <xs:sequence>

  <xs:element name="KeyID" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  <xs:element name="LicenseAcquisitionUrl" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  <xs:element name="CHECKSUM" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  <xs:element name="ContentID" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  </xs:sequence>

  </xs:complexType>

  </xs:element>

  </xs:choice>

  </xs:complexType>

  </xs:element>

  </xs:schema>

  <diffgr:diffgram xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata" xmlns:diffgr="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-diffgram-v1">

  <NewDataSet xmlns="">

  <Table diffgr:id="Table1" msdata:rowOrder="0">

  <KeyID>ABA38156-D357-4C2A-933A-838604EE4F83</KeyID>

  <LicenseAcquisitionUrl>http://ready.steady.com/preauth.aspx?pX=0DF3E4</LicenseAcquisitionUrl&gt;

  <CHECKSUM>0A38b6k3kiQ=</CHECKSUM>

  <ContentID>zqFuE60mxIQEWEzYyxoMkw==</ContentID>

  </Table>

  </NewDataSet>

  </diffgr:diffgram>

  </DataSet>

  '

  ;

  WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'http://tempuri.org/')

  SELECT @xml.value('(//DataSet/*:diffgram/*:NewDataSet/*:Table/*:KeyID/text())[1]', 'UNIQUEIDENTIFIER')

  , @xml.value('(//DataSet/*:diffgram/*:NewDataSet/*:Table/*:ContentID/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(24)')

  Slightly different flavour of the same

  😎

  DECLARE @TXML XML = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <DataSet xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">

  <xs:schema id="NewDataSet" xmlns="" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">

  <xs:element name="Table">

  <xs:complexType>

  <xs:sequence>

  <xs:element name="KeyID" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  <xs:element name="LicenseAcquisitionUrl" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  <xs:element name="CHECKSUM" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" />

  ;WITH XMLNAMESPACES (

  SELECT

  DIFF1.GRAM.value('*:KeyID[1]','VARCHAR(50)') AS KeyID
