I'm attempting to utilise the SQL FOR XML clause to produce custom XML for usage in SSIS. I'm almost there. I can't seem to locate anything about the "type" option. For some reason, the word "type" brings me close. Help is greatly appreciated. This is the desired result.

<NLS CommitBlock="1" EnforceTagExistence="1">
  <LOAN loannumber="892127" acctrefno="145415" />
  <LOAN loannumber="892130" acctrefno="145418" />
  <LOAN loannumber="892131" acctrefno="145419" />
</NLS>

This is the result I'm receiving.

<NLS CommitBlock="1" EnforceTagExistence="1">
  <LOAN loannumber="892127" acctrefno="145415" />
</NLS>
<NLS CommitBlock="1" EnforceTagExistence="1">
  <LOAN loannumber="892130" acctrefno="145418" />
</NLS>
<NLS CommitBlock="1" EnforceTagExistence="1">
  <LOAN loannumber="892131" acctrefno="145419" />
</NLS>

This is my SQL.

SELECT  TOP (3) 
'1' AS 'CommitBlock',
'1' AS 'EnforceTagExistence',
(SELECT
vw_deferments.loan_number AS '@loannumber',
vw_deferments.acctrefno AS '@acctrefno'
FOR XML Path('LOAN'), type)
FROM            vw_deferments INNER JOIN
                loanacct ON vw_deferments.acctrefno = Iloanacct.acctrefno
WHERE (vw_deferments.Loan_Status IN ('PAYING', 'REPO REVIEW', 'REPO ASSIGN')) 
-- tons of irrelevant AND clauses are here
FOR XML RAW('NLS')

The TYPE directive just says to return the results as XML rather than a string. TYPE Directive in FOR XML Queries

I don't use SSRS so I ask the following question in earnest... why do you need to use XML for this to begin with?

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
