  I have Xml like below which got (Table (one or more) , columns , rows ) ..It needs to be converted to txt like below 

  XML format (below as table) 
  Table Name -1

  Column1	Column2	Column3
  R1C1	R1C2	R1C3
  R2C1	R2C2	R2C3

  Table Name -2

  Column1	Column2	Column3
  R1C1	R1C2	R1C3

  Covert To text 
  
  Table Name -1 
  Column1: R1C1
  Column2: R1C2
  Column3: R1C3

  Column1: R2C1
  Column2: R2C2
  Column3: R2C3

  Table Name -2 

  Column1: R1C1
  Column2: R1C2
  Column3: R1C3

  Sample SQL Server - Inserts in table column 

  create table XMLwithOpenXML ( rawXMLId int identity(1,1) , XMLData xml ,TxtData varchar(max) )

  delete from XMLwithOpenXML
insert into XMLwithOpenXML (XMLData)
select '<APPMANAGER>

  I am able to extract the values in the XML from below XQuery 

  ;WITH cte ( rawXMLId ,tablename,TableNumber ,tableXML) AS (
SELECT
  t.rawXMLId,
    tableset.c.value( '@NAME', 'VARCHAR(MAX)' ),
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY tableset.c.value( '@NAME', 'VARCHAR(MAX)' ) ORDER BY ( SELECT NULL ) ) TableNumber ,
    tableset.c.query('.') rowXML
FROM XMLwithOpenXML t
  CROSS APPLY XMLData.nodes('/APPMANAGER/DATADETAIL/TABLE') tableset(c)
)
SELECT
  c.rawXMLId,
  c.TableNumber,
 tablename,
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY rowset.c.value( '@NAME', 'VARCHAR(MAX)' ) ORDER BY ( SELECT NULL ) ) RowNumber,
  rowset.c.value('./text()[1]', 'VARCHAR(50)') AS cellData,
    ColumnSet.c.value('./@NAME', 'varchar(100)') AS Element
--INTO #tmp
FROM cte c
  CROSS APPLY c.tableXML.nodes('//R/child::node()') rowset(c)
     CROSS APPLY c.tableXML.nodes('//CDEF/child::node()') ColumnSet(c)

  Quick thought, you can extract the data in an EAV format and then pivot it, here is a query for the EAV
  😎

  USE TEEST;
GO
SET NOCOUNT ON;

  IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.XMLwithOpenXML') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE dbo.XMLwithOpenXML;
CREATE TABLE dbo.XMLwithOpenXML ( rawXMLId INT IDENTITY(1,1) , XMLData XML ,TxtData VARCHAR(max) )

  INSERT INTO dbo.XMLwithOpenXML (XMLData)
SELECT '<APPMANAGER>

  Great thanks ..

  ColumnName , need to extract the names  For  NAME="Table2 Col1" not the local-name(.)'
  <C0 NAME="Table1 Col1" TYPE="String" />
  <C1 NAME="Table1 Col2" TYPE="String" />
  <C2 NAME="Table1 Col3" TYPE="String" />

  Basically need to  Replace the column name C0 - Table1 Col1 , C1 - Table1 Col2" C3 - Table1 Col3"

  <C0 NAME="Table1 Col1" TYPE="String" />
  <C1 NAME="Table1 Col2" TYPE="String" />
  <C2 NAME="Table1 Col3" TYPE="String" />

  Basically need to  Replace the column name C0 - Table1 Col1 , C1 - Table1 Col2" C3 - Table1 Col3"

  The local-name(.) function is returning the column element name from the XML, the table name attribute is already in the result set as 

  TABLE_NAME
  

  CDEF.DATA.value('../@NAME','VARCHAR(50)') AS TABLE_NAME
