XML Schema Collection (SQL Server 2012): How to create an XML Schema Collection that can be used to Validate a field name (column title) of an existing dbo Table of a Database in SSMS2012?

Hi all,
I used the following code to create a new Database (ScottChangDB) and a new Table (marvel) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) successfully:
-- ScottChangDB.sql saved in C://Documents/SQL Server XQuery_MacLochlainns Weblog_code

USE master
IF EXISTS

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[marvel] (
[avenger_name] [char] (30) NULL, [ID] INT NULL)
INSERT INTO marvel
(avenger_name,ID)
VALUES
('Hulk', 1),
('Iron Man', 2),
('Black Widow', 3),
('Thor', 4),
('Captain America', 5),
('Hawkeye', 6),
('Winter Soldier', 7),
('Iron Patriot', 8);
SELECT avenger_name FROM marvel ORDER BY ID For XML PATH('')
DECLARE @x XML
SELECT @x=(SELECT avenger_name FROM marvel ORDER BY ID FOR XML PATH('Marvel'))--,ROOT('root'))
SELECT
person.value('Marvel[4]', 'varchar(100)') AS NAME
FROM @x.nodes('.') AS Tbl(person)
ORDER BY NAME DESC
--Or if you want the completed element
SELECT @x.query('/Marvel[4]/avenger_name')
DROP TABLE [marvel]
Now I am trying to create my first XML Schema Collection to do the Validation on the Field Name (Column Title) of the "marvel" Table. I have studied Chapter 4 XML SCHEMA COLLECTIONS of the book "Pro SQL Server 2008 XML" written by
Michael Coles (published by Apress) and some beginning pages of XQuery Language Reference, SQL Server 2012 Books ONline (published by Microsoft). I mimicked Coles' Listing 04-05 and I wanted to execute the following first-drafted sql in
my SSMS2012:

GO
DECLARE @x XML (dbo. ComplexTestSchemaCollection_all);
SET @x = N'<?xml version="1.0"?>
<marvel>
<avenger_name>Thor</name>
<ID>4</ID>
</marvel>';
SELECT @x;
GO
DROP XML SCHEMA COLLECTION dbo.ComplexTestSchemaCollection_all;
GO
I feel that drafted sql is very shaky and it needs the SQL Server XML experts to modify to make it work for me. Please kindly help, exam the coding of my shcXMLTableValidate1.sql and modify it to work.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott,
2) Yes, FOR XML PATH clause converts relational data to XML format with a specific structure for the "marvel" Table. Regarding validate all the avenger_names, please see below
sample.
DECLARE @x XML
SELECT @x=(SELECT ID ,avenger_name FROM marvel FOR XML PATH('Marvel'))
SELECT @x
SELECT
n.value('avenger_name[1]','VARCHAR(99)') avenger_name,
n.value('ID[1]','INT') ID
FROM @x.nodes('//Marvel') Tab(n)
WHERE n.value('ID[1]','INT') = 1 -- specify the ID here
--FOR XML PATH('Marvel') --uncommented this line if you want the result as element type
3)i.check the xml schema content
--find xml schema collection
SELECT ss.name,xsc.name collection_name FROM sys.xml_schema_collections xsc JOIN sys.schemas ss ON xsc.schema_id= ss.schema_id
select * from sys.schemas
--check the schema content,use the name,collection_name from the above query
SELECT xml_schema_namespace(N'name',N'collection_name')
3)ii. View can be viewed as virtual table. Use a view to list the XML schema content.
CREATE VIEW XSDContentView
AS
SELECT ss.name,xsc.name collection_name,cat.content
FROM sys.xml_schema_collections xsc JOIN sys.schemas ss ON xsc.schema_id= ss.schema_id
CROSS APPLY(
SELECT xml_schema_namespace(ss.name,xsc.name) AS content
) AS cat
WHERE xsc.name<>'sys'
GO
SELECT * FROM XSDContentView
By the way, it would be appreciated if you can spread your questions into posts. For any question, feel free to let me know.

Converting SQL Server text field containing XML string to XI XML via JDBC

Hello
My client has a SQL Server database containing a field of type Text which contains an XML string e.g.
<DispatchJob> <DispatchDateTime>2003-09-29T13:29:15</DispatchDateTime> <AssignedFSE>F118</AssignedFSE> <DispatchJobPurchase> <DealerID>14C5</DealerID> <DateOfPurchase>1997-10-01T00:00:00</DateOfPurchase> </DispatchJob>
I am using JDBC to access this but could someone please recommend the best and easiest solution for converting this string to XI XML for subsequent mapping to BAPI or IDOC or ABAP Proxy and transmission to SAP. There are other fields as well in the database table so thoughts at the moment are to use a normal graphical message mapping followed by an XSL mapping. Will an XSL mapping be able to do this and if so is that the best solution?
Also I need to do the reverse of this and take fields coming from SAP via BAPI,IDOC etc. and convert them to a single database table field as an XML string also via the JDBC adapter. What is the best way to do this. Could it be done simply with functions in the graphical mapping e.g. concatenate?
Thank you in advance.
Trevor

Hi Michal
Thanks for the prompt reply.
I was anticipating XSLT for reading from the SQL Server database and converting the XML string.
But how would you convert the individual fields from SAP into a single field as an XML string for storing in the SQL Server database? What approach would you use?
Regards
Trevor

Selective XML Index feature is not supported for the current database version , SQL Server Extended Events , Optimizing Reading from XML column datatype

Team , Thanks for looking into this ..
As a last resort on optimizing my stored procedure ( Below ) i wanted to create a Selective XML index ( Normal XML indexes doesn't seem to be improving performance as needed ) but i keep getting this error within my stored proc . Selective XML
Index feature is not supported for the current database version.. How ever
EXECUTE sys.sp_db_selective_xml_index; return 1 , stating Selective XML Indexes are enabled on my current database .
Is there ANY alternative way i can optimize below stored proc ?
Thanks in advance for your response(s) !

XML Publisher Desktop Db connect SQL Server Host:Port:Sid

Brand new to XML Publisher. Set up XML Publisher Enterprise environment to work with SQL Server 2005 using both MS 2000 & 2005 JDBC drivers, so far no problem.
However the XML Publisher Desktop Report Wizard will not connect to SQL Server 2005 using either MS 2000 & 2005 JDBC drivers. I provide the same data source name, user and pw that I use in the XML Publisher Enterprise environment but it is the 4th piece of information - the database portion (Host:Port:Sid) that I am having trouble with. SID is an Oracle invention not used in the SQL Server world. I have tried various combinations of the database string without sucess.
Perhaps the XML Publisher Desktop does not work with SQL Server. Does anyone know how to use XML Publisher Desktop to create templates that will work with MS SQL Server?
Thank you.
BG...

Shaun,
Thanks for you comments. I belive I now have enough to use the HSGC-ODBC technique to make the template and then re-edit it to make it work with the original JDBC connection.
That said, "Using ODBC-JDBC bridge connection is really poor in performance." I, more than anyone on the planet am aware of this issue and more.
Being new to XMLPublisher I thought that having a JDBC connection to a SQL Server from XMLP Enterprise led me to beleive that the XMLP Desktop template creation tool would also work. "*** Pity the fool ***" for thinking that! (Thank-you Mr. T!!! <grin>).
Because I had to engage a 'heterogeneous connectivity" solution to this problem indicates that the product is half-baked. That's not to say that it is not capable.
Rushing software products to market quickly creates products that make the rest of us jump through hoops. I resent that!!! I have more import things to do than waste time!
I demand more of a trusted vendor, do you? I have tortured myself with Oracle products thinking they were ready since the early nineties.
Look we are in a "heterogeneous universe" and if the product pretends to work with "heterogeneous databases" on the Enterprise side than it damn well aught to work with them on the Desktop side. That's my opinion.
Attention OTN: I am back!!!
Justin, this needs to be fixed.
Thanks!

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service.
--> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying

I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
SELECT ...
FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
SELECT ...
FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
CREATE TABLE apple (a int    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT apple(a, b)
   VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
   (2, 'Gloster'),
   (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
   (5, 'Milenga')
CREATE TABLE orange(c int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT orange(c, d)
   VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
   (3, 'Netherlands'),
   (4, 'Revolution')
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
CROSS JOIN orange
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
INNER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
LEFT   OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
RIGHT OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
SELECT a, b, c, d
FROM   apple
FULL OUTER JOIN orange ON apple.a = orange.c
go
DROP TABLE apple, orange

Hi selfdestruct80,
According to your description, you created SSIS package and it works fine. But you got the error message when the SSIS package was called from a SQL Server Agent job.
According to my knowledge, the package may not run in the following scenarios:
The current user cannot decrypt secrets from the package.
A SQL Server connection that uses integrated security fails because the current user does not have the required permissions.
File access fails because the current user does not have the required permissions to write to the file share that the connection manager accesses.
A registry-based SSIS package configuration uses the HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry keys are user-specific.
A task or a connection manager requires that the current user account has correct permissions.
According to the error message, the SSIS Package ProtectionLevel property to EncryptSensitiveWithPassword as ArthurZ mentioned. To solve the problem, you need to go to Command Line tab, manually specify the paassword in SQL Agent Job with the command like below:
/FILE "\"C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\SQL Server Management Studio\SSIS\Package.dtsx\"" /DECRYPT somepassword /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu

[Forum FAQ] How do i use xml stored in database as dataset in SQL Server Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that users want to create SSRS report, the xml used to retrieve data for the report is stored in table of database. Since the data source is not of XML type, when we create data source for the report, we could not select XML as Data Source
type. Is there a way that we can create a dataset that is based on data of XML type, and retrieve report data from the dataset?
Solution
In this article, I will demonstrate how to use xml stored in database as dataset in SSRS reports.
Supposing the original xml stored in database is like below:
<Customers>
<Customer ID="11">
<FirstName>Bobby</FirstName>
<LastName>Moore</LastName>
</Customer>
<Customer ID="20">
<FirstName>Crystal</FirstName>
<LastName>Hu</LastName>
</Customer>
</Customers>
Now we can create an SSRS report and use the data of xml type as dataset by following steps:
In database, create a stored procedure to retrieve the data for the report in SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) with the following query:
CREATE PROCEDURE xml_report
AS
DECLARE @xmlDoc XML;
SELECT @xmlDoc = xmlVal FROM xmlTbl WHERE id=1;
SELECT T.c.value('(@ID)','int') AS ID,
T.c.value('(FirstName[1])','varchar(99)') AS firstName,
T.c.value('(LastName[1])','varchar(99)') AS lastName
FROM
@xmlDoc.nodes('/Customers/Customer') T(c)
GO
P.S. This is an example for a given structured XML, to retrieve node values from different structured XMLs, you can reference here.
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) OR SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT). If this is the first time we have opened SQL Server Data Tools, click Business Intelligence
Settings for the default environment settings.
On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.
In the Project Types list, click Business Intelligence Projects.
In the Templates list, click Report Server Project.
In Name, type project name.
Click OK to create the project.
In Solution Explorer, right-click Reports, point to Add, and click New Item.
In the Add New Item dialog box, under Templates, click Report.
In Name, type report name and then click Add.
In the Report Data pane, right-click Data Sources and click Add Data Source.
For an embedded data source, verify that Embedded connection is selected. From the Type drop-down list, select a data source type; for example, Microsoft SQL Server or OLE DB. Type the connection string directly or click Edit to open the Connection Properties
dialog box and select Server name and database name from the drop down list.
For a shared data source, verify that Use shared data source reference is selected, then select a data source from the drop down list.
Right-click DataSets and click Add Dataset, type a name for the dataset or accept the default name, then check Use a dataset embedded in my report. Select the name of an existing Data source from drop down list. Set Query type to StoredProcedure, then select
xml_report from drop down list.
In the Toolbox, click Table, and then click on the design surface.
In the Report Data pane, expand the dataset we created above to display the fields.
Drag the fields from the dataset to the cells of the table.

I have near about 30 matrics. so I need a paging. I did every thing as per this post and it really works for me.
I have total four columns. On one page it should show three and the remaining one will be moved to next page.
Problem occurs when in my first row i have 3 columns and in next page if I have one columns then it show proper on first page but on second page also it gives me three columns insted of one. the first column data is exactly what I have but in remaining two
columns it shows some garbage data.
I have data like below.
Metric ColumnNo RowNo
1 1
1
2 2
1
3 3
1
4 1
2
so while grouping i have a row parent group on RowNo and Column group on ColumnNo.
can anyone please advice on this.

XML Schema Collection (SQL Server 2012): Complex Schema Collection with Attribute - Should xs or xsd be used in the coding?

Hi all,
I just got a copy of the book "Pro SQL Server 2008 XML" written by Michael Coles (published by Apress) and try to learn the XML Schema Collection in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). I studied Chapter 4 XML Collection of the book
and executed the following code of Listing 4-8 Complex Schema with Attribute:
-- Pro SQL Server 2008 XML by Michael Coles (Apress)
-- Listing04-08.sql Complex XML Schema with Attribute
-- shcColes04-08.sql saved in C:\\Documents\XML_SQL_Server2008_code_Coles_Apress
-- 6 April 2015 8:00 PM
CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION dbo.ComplexTestSchemaCollection_attribute
AS
N'<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

</item>';
SELECT @x;
GO
DROP XML SCHEMA COLLECTION dbo.ComplexTestSchemaCollection_attribute;
It worked nicely. But, I just found out the coding that was downloaded from the website of Apress and I just executed was different from the coding of Listing 4-8 listed in the book: all the <xs: ....> and </xs: ..> in my SSMS2012 are
listed as <xsd:...> and </xsd:...> respectively in the book!!?? The same thing happens in the Listing 4-3 Simple XML Schema, Listing 4-5 XML Schema and Valid XML Document with Comple Type Definition, Listion 4-6 XML Schema and XML
Document Document with Complex Type Using <sequence> and <choice>, and Listing 4-7 Complex XML Schema and XML Document with Model Group Definition (I executed last week) too. I wonder: should xs or xsd be used in the XML
Schema Collection of SSMS2012? Please kindly help, clarify this matter and explain the diffirence of using xs and xsd for me.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Scott,
Using xs or xsd depends on how you declare the namespace prefix.
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xs:element name="item">
I've posted a very good link in your last question, just in case you might have missed it, please see the below link.
Understanding XML Namespaces
In an XML document we use a namespace prefix to qualify the local names of both elements and attributes . A prefix is really just an abbreviation for the namespace identifier (URI), which is typically quite long. The prefix is first mapped to a namespace
identifier through a namespace declaration. The syntax for a namespace declaration is:
xmlns:<prefix>='<namespace identifier>'
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

Try to do my first XML Schema in SQL Server 2012 Mangement Studio(SSMS2012)-How to execute the xsd and xml files in SSMS2012?

Hi all,
I learmed the basic stuff of XML, DTD, DOM, etc. long time ago. Now, I came back to resume my XML journey and try to learn the XML Schemas, XPath and XQuery. I have Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) in our computer network. From
Page 221 of the old Book "Beginning XML 2nd Edition" written by David Hunter, et.al., (published by Wrox), I copied the name5.xsd and name5.xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<schema xmlns=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.wrox.com/name" xmlns:target="http://www.wrox.com/name"

function to find substrings, (iii)Efficiency comparisons in the article.
Please kindly help me in enlightening me to resolve the difficulties listed in 1) and 2).

Urgent issues indicate a live/production system is having problems and a company is losing money, or customers are being prevented from using it.
For urgent issues you should raise your issue with Oracle Support using your customer support identifier.
The community forums are for non-urgent issues. To suggest such issues are urgent is considered rude, as the people who help here are volunteers with their own jobs to do, so demanding their time for your "urgent" issue is not appropriate. It also suggests that you think your issue is more important than other people's issues, so you are being rude to those people too. Your issue is no more important than anyone elses.
In relation to your question, you need to provide more information.
Please read: Re: 2. How do I ask a question on the forums?
When you refer to "SQL Server" are you referring to the Microsoft SQL Server product, or are you just referring to a physical server with your oracle database on it?

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:Importing XML file to new Table of new Database-XML parsing: unexpected end of input???

Hi all,
In the Notepad, I created an xml file (ZenQroducts.xml) :
<Qroducts>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Qroduct>
<Qroduct>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Qroduct>
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
--to create a new object Qroducts in a new database OPENXMLtesting
CREATE DATABASE OPENXMLtesting
GO
CREATE TABLE Qroducts(
sku INT Primary KEY,
qroduct_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Qroducts (sku, qroduct_desc)
SELECT X.qroduct.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.qroduct.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenQroducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Qroducts/Qroduct') AS X(qroduct);
SELECT sku, qroduct_desc
FROM Qroducts;
I got the following message:
Msg 9400, Level 16, State 1, Line 6
XML parsing: line 13, character 12, unexpected end of input
I have no ideas why I got this "XML parsing:line 13, character12, unexpected end of input" message. Please kindly help, advise me on where I made mistake and how I can resolve this problem, and respond in this Forum.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Yes, it is a duplicate with Qroducts/Qroduct instead of Products/Product. I did it, because I don't know how to remove the existing "Products" database.
Again, I got the existing "Qroducts" database in this second trial!!?? I am comletely lost in doing "Importing XML file to SQL Table" now!! I think that I have not touched T-SQL and XML programming, since 2008. I
did not catch the new features of T-SQL 2008, XML, SQL/XML, XQuery, etc. for long time. Recently, I did not know what DECLARE, @x, SET,...were, and dived into the SQL/XML and XQuery programming. I knew the SQL Basics (SELECT, FROM, WHERE,..), creating
the names of databases and tables in SQL Server 2008/2012 Management Studio (Express) before. This morning, I found an old T-SQL 2008 Prgrammer's Guide that has the new features of SQL Server 2008 for T-SQL, XML, XQuery, etc. I just starting reading
it to know what DECLARE, @x, SET,... are. But, I still don't know where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" (created by me) are - they are not in the Databases of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio I am using!!?? Could
you please kindly point out where the "Products" and "Qroducts" databases are?
Prashanth responded to my posted question too and he asked to to try his code: DECLARE @xml XML, SELECT @xml =' <Qroducts>.....SELECT product.value.....FROM @XML.nodes.....AS.... I just learned that his code is doing the thing we
want to do and print the results below the SQL Query. This is not what I need in doing my SQL/XML programming. I am reading/studying the new (2008) features of T-SQL, XQuery 1.0: An XML Query Language (Second Edition), and Microsoft XQuery Language Reference
(SQL Server 2012 Books Online) closely now. I hope that I can resume the T-SQL, XML Query, SQL/XML, XQuery in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio soon.
Please tell me where the existing databases "Products" and "Qroducts" I created in my previous trials in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. This is what I need to know and to delete them, before I do this kind of "Importing
XML file to Table of SQL Server 2012 Management Studio" programming again.
Please kindly help, advise and respond again.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: Import XML File to SQL Table - XML parsing: illegal qualified name character

Hi all,
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio, I executed the following code:
CREATE TABLE Products(
sku INT Primary KEY,
product_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Products (sku, product_desc)
SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.product.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenProducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Products/Product') AS X(product);
SELECT sku, product_desc
FROM Products;
I got the following message:
Msg 9455, Level 16, State 1, Line 5
XML parsing: line 3, character 12, illegal qualified name character
I have no ideas why the "product" in the statement "SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.','INT')" is not legal qualified name charcter!!!??? Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hi Manish, Thanks for your response.
Here is a copy of my ZenProducts.xml:
<Products>
<Product>
<SKU>1<</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>2<</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>3<</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Product>
I found the wrong "<<" in my xml file and changed it to the right "<" for the statement<SKU>1</sku>. I executed the corrected code and I got the following new message:
Msg 2714, Level 16, State 6, Line 1
There is already an object named 'Products' in the database.
I don't know how to remove the old, existing the 'Products' object in the database and execute the corrected code again. Please kindly help, advise and tell me how to resolve this new problem.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang
P. S. I played with another project to get the 'Products' object in my database before. Frankly, I don't know where the old 'Products' object and the database are. Please enlighten me in resolving this matter more clearly.
You welcome Scott, As Olaf mentioned in this post, there was already a table exists , so need to drop your Products table.
Apart from this, I guess either you did not pasted the full XML file or what, I needed to have the ( </Products>)closing tag in your XML file as follows.
<Products>
<Product>
<SKU>1</SKU>
<Desc>Book</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>2</SKU>
<Desc>DVD</Desc>
</Product>
<Product>
<SKU>3</SKU>
<Desc>Video</Desc>
</Product>
</Products>
You can use following script to drop if your
Products table is already existing.
if exists(select 1 from sys.tables where name ='Products')
drop table Products
CREATE TABLE Products(
sku INT Primary KEY,
product_desc VARCHAR(30));
INSERT INTO Products (sku, product_desc)
SELECT X.product.query('SKU').value('.', 'INT'),
X.product.query('Desc').value('.', 'VARCHAR(30)')
FROM (
SELECT CAST(x AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET(
BULK 'H:\ZenProducts.xml',
SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(x)
) AS T(x)
CROSS APPLY x.nodes('Products/Product') AS X(product);
SELECT sku, product_desc
FROM Products;
Let us know if you face any other problem.
Thanks

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: XML XQuery-query the XML Blob using CTE: How to specify the coorelation name in bulk rowset?

Hi all,
I just started doing the XML Xquery programming in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. I executed the following code:
--query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time) Products
WITH XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'H:\Products.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) ) AS XmlData
SELECT *
FROM XmlFile
GO
I got the the following Msg:
Msg 491, Level 16, State 1, Line 4
A correlation name must be specified for the bulk rowset in the from clause.
How can I specify the correction name for the bulk rowset in my project?
Please kindly help, advise and respond.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

Hello Scott,
You have to assign a table alias for the OPENROWSET =>
--query the XML Blob using a CTE (pulling from the XML file each time) Products
WITH XmlFile (Contents) AS (
SELECT CONVERT (XML, BulkColumn)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'H:\Products.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS MyXML ) AS XmlData
SELECT *
FROM XmlFile

[Forum FAQ] How to get SSIS packages XML definition which are stored in SQL Server Integration Services instance

Introduction
Integration Services gives you the ability to import and export packages, and by doing this change the storage format and location of packages. But after import packages into package store, how can we get the package XML definition?
Solution
As we know, SSIS packages are stored in msdb using existing SSIS storage table([msdb].[dbo].[sysssispackages]). The “packagedata” column store the actual SSIS package with Image data type. In order to get the package XML definition, we need to convert “packagedata”
column through Varbinary to XML. You can refer to the following steps:
Using the following query to get package GUID:
SELECT [name],
[id]
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysssispackages]
Using the following query to convert packagedata column to XML: SELECT id, CAST(CAST(packagedata AS VARBINARY(MAX)) AS XML) PackageDataXML
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[sysssispackages]
WHERE id= 'ABB264CC-A082-40D6-AEC4-DBF17FA057B2'
