Thank you, Hugo, for your help.

Lot of people cannot distinguish complete XML file and XML segment.

Because they cannot, you can ask Steve to edit one of the lines in your question to read

select * from #t for xml auto, root('rows');

This will prevent the problems with XML segment problem as the result will include the root element.

Let me say one more time that I really enjoyed the question. Thank you.

Oleg
