    kl4576 (11/9/2010)


    I actually expect to have NULL columns dropped, and not appear in the resulting XML.

    The problem is that the whole variable @XML is set to NULL when [msdb] is...

    Now I'm really confused. You're stating that your fingerprint product isn't suitable for security, except where the data it's protecting doesn't matter?

    It's a time clock. People...

  • RE: SELECT ... FOR XML returns NULL in 2008 but works OK in 2005

    For XML in T-SQL drops null columns by default. You have to use the XSINIL option to get them. That's probably the problem.
