Hello Goldie,

Do you mean using the XML logic or placing it into a udf causes the performance decrease?

Using the XML inline is a little bit difficult for whom do not use XML features of the SQL2005.

This format is not easy to implement.

Placing the logic in a udf makes the implementation easier.

Actually, I made a simple test to see that the xml function is quicker. But I do not say that this is always works in better performance. May be slower, and since you disagree, it is probably slower perhaps while working with high number of rows.
