s.n.value('(name/text())[1]','varchar(50)') as name
from
@XML.nodes('/students/student') as S(N)
Its not returning any rows. But when I remove the below lines in xml.

Hello,
It seems contain incorrect "schemaLocation" in the definition, please refer to the following T-SQL below:
declare @xml xml
set @xml ='<students xmlns="http://www.abcdef.com/pqrs/1.3.0">
<student>
<id>1</id>
<name>aaa</name>
</student>
</students>';
; with xmlnamespaces (default 'http://www.abcdef.com/pqrs/1.3.0')
select
s.n.value('(id/text())[1]', 'varchar(50)') as id ,
s.n.value('(name/text())[1]','varchar(50)') as name
from
@XML.nodes('/students/student') as S(N)
