XML with Namespaces

  • I have been kicking this around for a little while and am stuck.  I have an xml variable with 4 namespaces in it. I am trying to get ChainNumber, but I can't figure it out.  When I select MerchandiseMasterDivision, it shows all 4 attributes under it in 1 column.

     

    Thanks in advance.  SQL is below

     

    declare @x xml = '<ns5:SyncMerchandiseHierarchyRequest

  • This is a "quick and dirty" trick, but simply add *: in front of ChainNumber in your query.  Of course that will work assuming no 2 of your namespaces have an Element called ChainNumber.

    Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

  • As in :

     

    select 
    fields.value('(../ns3:DummyValueMessageHeader/ns3:TransactionType)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS TransactionType
    ,fields.value('(../ns3:DummyValueMessageHeader/ns3:CreationDateTime)[1]', 'datetime2(7)') AS CreatedDate

    ,fields.value('(ns4:MerchandiseHierarchy/ns4:MerchandiseMasterDivision/*:ChainNumber)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS ChainNumber
    ,fields.value('(ns4:MerchandiseHierarchy/ns4:MerchandiseMasterDivision)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS MerchandiseMasterDivision
    from @x.nodes('//SyncMerchandiseHierarchyRequest/SyncMerchandiseHierarchy') as xmldata(fields)

  • Thanks Matt, but the * doesn't work in some occasions.  I have multiple VatRates I'm trying to get and it only returns 1.  This should return all 6 Vat records

  • That's because you essentially have a one to many link between the class and vat rates level, and you're only returning the first one.  That's what the [1] is doing in the xml.value syntax.  The best way to return multiple is to break that sub-section into a secon table and use cross apply (kind of acts like a JOIN would in SQL).

    fields.value('(../ns3:DummyValueMessageHeader/ns3:TransactionType)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS TransactionType
