    Those are what are called "derived tables".

  • RE: xml explicit - missing tags due to an empty join

    I took a bit closer look at Explicit, and you can specify elementxsinil in the directive part of a column name.

    Example at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522622.aspx

    Documentation at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189068.aspx

  • RE: xml explicit - missing tags due to an empty join

    I don't think Explicit mode supports XSINIL in the FOR clause, so what you probably have to do is wrap the appropriate column in IsNull/Coalesce.
