I want to get the values Total and TipoDeComprobante of the tag name cfdi:Comprobante, currently in my table the column where the XML is stored is of type image so I do the following query to get the value of the XML, I tried to do some substring but I have not been successful, could you help me?
Query to obtain the xml
select cast(cast(xml as varbinary(max)) as varchar(max)) as column_name
from [tb_cfdi]
where uuid = 'f425cd6d-ed30-4a0d-8135-8dc7229b79ff' ;

You can also use #marc_s's answer with your existing data type, although I agree the table should be changed if at all possible
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.sat.gob.mx/cfd/3' AS cfdi)
SELECT
Total = xc.value('#Total' , 'decimal(20,2)'),
TipoDeComprobante = xc.value('#TipoDeComprobante', 'varchar(20)')
FROM tb_cfdi c
CROSS APPLY (
SELECT CAST(CAST(xml AS varbinary(max)) AS xml) AS data
) v
CROSS APPLY v.data.nodes('/cfdi:Comprobante') AS xt(xc)
WHERE c.uuid = 'f425cd6d-ed30-4a0d-8135-8dc7229b79ff';
First of all - get rid of that Image datatype! It's deprecated and will be removed in a future version of SQL Server.
Image is also a binary type - why use that to store textual information like XML ?? Makes no sense.... use XML datatype for best results.
Once you do have your XML in a T-SQL variable #data XML, you can then use this XQuery to get the values you're interested in:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://www.sat.gob.mx/cfd/3' AS cfdi)
SELECT
Total = xc.value('#Total', 'decimal(20,2)'),
TipoDeComprobante = xc.value('#TipoDeComprobante', 'varchar(20)')
FROM
#data.nodes('(/cfdi:Comprobante)') AS XT(XC)

I have an XML in SQL table column. I need to decode this xml and get value of particular nodes. Find my XML below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<status>Confirmed</status>
</transaction-info>
</transactionResponse>
</ns:createTransactionResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I need the values of nodes: registrationId, transactionId and status and I tried this but couldn't succeed as i got empty value as result:
DECLARE #xml XML
SET #xml = 'XML here'
SELECT T.C.value('#status', 'nvarchar(100)') FROM #xml.nodes('createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info/status') T(C)
SELECT T.C.value('#trans', 'nvarchar(100)') FROM #xml.nodes('createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info/transactionId') T(C)
SELECT T.C.value('#id', 'nvarchar(100)') FROM #xml.nodes('createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info/registrationId') T(C)
Any help/correction would be appreciated
Your own attempt is ignoring the namespaces and does not specify the full XPath.
Try one of these approaches:
Your XML:
DECLARE #xml XML
SET #xml = '<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header/>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns:createTransactionResponse

<transactionResponse>
<transaction-info>
<registrationId>R1234</registrationId>
<trialId>T12345</trialId>
<transactionId>12345</transactionId>
<transactionDate>27-02-2020:08:47</transactionDate>
<status>Confirmed</status>
</transaction-info>
</transactionResponse>
</ns:createTransactionResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>';
--This is the most explicit (which is always a best way):
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' AS n1
,'http://www.regfrez.com/schemas/service1_V2/SharedResources/XMLSchema/Schema.xsd' AS n2)
SELECT #xml.value('(/n1:Envelope/n1:Body/n2:createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info/registrationId/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS RegistrationId
,#xml.value('(/n1:Envelope/n1:Body/n2:createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info/transactionId/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS TransactionId
,#xml.value('(/n1:Envelope/n1:Body/n2:createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info/status/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS [Status];
--This will avoid some repeated XPath, but .nodes() produces quite some overhead:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' AS n1
,'http://www.regfrez.com/schemas/service1_V2/SharedResources/XMLSchema/Schema.xsd' AS n2)
SELECT ti.value('(registrationId/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS RegistrationId
,ti.value('(transactionId/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS TransactionId
,ti.value('(status/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS [Status]
FROM #xml.nodes('/n1:Envelope/n1:Body/n2:createTransactionResponse/transactionResponse/transaction-info') A(ti);
--And this is for lazy people :-)
SELECT #xml.value('(//*:registrationId)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS RegistrationId
,#xml.value('(//*:transactionId)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS TransactionId
,#xml.value('(//*:status)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS [Status];
Hint: The last one (for lazy people) uses the deep search (with //) and uses a wildcard for the namespace. This is very dangerous if the elements might occur more than once within your XML.
The XML you have is pretty complex. You have multiple namespaces, with different nodes using different ones. This means you need to use WITH XMLNAMESPACES to declare all these.
Then you need to use nodes to navigate the to needed node, prefixing them with the appropriate namespaces, till you get to transaction-info. Then you use use value to get the information.
#Status isn't what you're after here, that's for is you have something like <node status=1\>, you need to get the text() value of the node.
This results in the below:
DECLARE #X xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I have a SQL Server database table with a column called XML that contains XML data which is structured like this:
<Item xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://test/data">
<Roots>
<Root>
<Name>Field Name</Name>
<Value>Field Value</Value>
</Root>
<Root>
<Name>Field Name</Name>
<Value>Field Value</Value>
</Root>
</Roots>
I want to use T-SQL to get the Value where Name = Total. I have tried the following but it isn't returning any data:
SELECT [XML]
FROM [BusinessAccount]
WHERE [XML].value('(/Root/Name)[13]', 'VARCHAR(MAX)') LIKE '%Total%'
If anyone could tell me where I've gone wrong?
You are missing the required WITH XMLNAMESPACES for your XML and the path is incorrect.
If you want to bring back rows where the 13th element consists of the text Total you can use the below.
WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'http://test/data')
SELECT [XML]
FROM [BusinessAccount]
WHERE 1 = [XML].exist('(/Item/Roots/Root/Name)[13][text() = "Total"]')
Otherwise you can add the WITH XMLNAMESPACES to your original query and fix the path there too.
You need to specify namespaces. You can then match <Name> and <Value> pairs and extract the contents of <Value> like so:
SELECT NameNode.value('declare namespace x="http://test/data"; (../x:Value)[1]', 'varchar(100)')
FROM [BusinessAccount]
CROSS APPLY [XML].nodes('declare namespace x="http://test/data"; //x:Root/x:Name') AS n(NameNode)
WHERE NameNode.value('.', 'varchar(100)') = 'Total'

I was able to convert text data to xml type using:
SELECT TOP (10) * FROM (
SELECT CAST([xml] AS XML) AS xmlcontent
FROM [emcskomunikaty]
) det
Now trying to get value from xml.
I suppose you can do this:
SELECT
xmldata.value('declare namespace ns1="urn:publicid:-:EC:DGTAXUD:EMCS:PHASE3:IE801:V1.51"; (//ns1:Traderid)[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS Traderid,
xmldata.value('declare namespace ns1="urn:publicid:-:EC:DGTAXUD:EMCS:PHASE3:IE801:V1.51"; (//ns1:TraderName)[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS TraderName
FROM #t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT CAST(xml AS XML)) AS CA(xmldata)
The only tricky part here is handling the namespaces. If you choose ignore namespaces then just use //*:Traderid.
I have a column in my SQL database that is called Triggers_xml_data and its type is ntext. The column is in a xml format and I am trying to get a value from a certain part of the xml. I seen an example of this being done without a column like this:
declare #fileContent xml
set #fileContent ='<my:Header>
<my:Requestor>Mehrlein, Roswitha</my:Requestor>
<my:RequestorUserName>SJM\MehrlR01</my:RequestorUserName>
<my:RequestorEmail>RMehrlein#SJM.com</my:RequestorEmail>
<my:HRContact>Roswita Mehrlein, Beatrice Porta</my:HRContact>
<my:Entity>SJM Germany</my:Entity>
<my:Department>HR/Administration</my:Department>
<my:PositionTitle>Sales Representative</my:PositionTitle>
<my:JobDescription>x0lGQRQAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAeAQAyAAAAVgBAAAAA=</my:JobDescription>
<my:PositionDepartment>Sales</my:PositionDepartment>'
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES ('http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2005-08-29T12-58-51' as my)
select #fileContent.value('(//my:PositionDepartment)[1]', 'varchar(255)')
But I want to select my column like this:
Declare #filevalue xml
select de.triggers_xml_data
from dbo.DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT as de
But this is not working and I tried to use this #filecontent.value('(//value)[1]','varchar(255)') and making it equal the column value, I have tried casting it but I can't find a way to do this. Is this possible?
When I do this:
SELECT
CAST(
REPLACE(CAST(de.TRIGGERS_XML_DATA AS VARCHAR(MAX)), 'encoding="utf-16"', '')
AS XML).value('(triggers/triggerDefinition/config/item/value)[1]', 'NVARCHAR(max)') as Item, de.ENVIRONMENT_ID
from dbo.DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT as de
where de.ENVIRONMENT_ID = 19234819
I am getting a null value returned.
Here is an example of what my xml could look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configuration xml:space="preserve">
<triggers>
<defined>true</defined>
<triggerDefinition>
<id>1</id>

</item>
</config>
</triggerDefinition>
</triggers>
<bambooDelimiterParsingDisabled>true</bambooDelimiterParsingDisabled>
</configuration>
The XML, as you posted it, is not valid. Your code example does not work... It is not allowed to use a namespace prefix without a namespace declaration. Furthermore your example misses the closing Header-tag...
I corrected this...
DECLARE #yourTbl TABLE(ID INT, YourXML NTEXT);
INSERT INTO #yourTbl VALUES
(1,N'<my:Header xmlns:my="DummyUrl">

--Lazy approach
SELECT ID
,CAST(CAST(YourXml AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) AS XML).value(N'(//*:PositionDepartment)[1]','nvarchar(max)')

--explicit approach
WITH XMLNAMESPACES('DummyUrl' AS my)
SELECT ID
,CAST(CAST(YourXml AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) AS XML).value(N'(/my:Header/my:PositionDepartment)[1]','nvarchar(max)')
FROM #yourTbl
Some Background
If possible you should not store XML in other format than XML and further more one should avoid NTEXT, as it is depricated since SS2005!.
You have to cast NTEXT to NVARCHAR(MAX) first, than cast this to XML. The second will break, if the XML is not valid. That means: If the XML is really the way you posted it, this cannot work!
UPDATE: String-based approach, if XML does not work
If you cannot cast this to XML you might try this
--String based
WITH Casted AS
(
SELECT ID
,CAST(YourXML AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) AS TheXmlAsString
FROM #yourTbl
)
,WithPosition AS
(
SELECT Casted.*
,CHARINDEX(N'<my:PositionDepartment>',TheXmlAsString) + LEN(N'<my:PositionDepartment>') AS FirstLetter
FROM Casted

According to your edit the following returns a NULL value. This is good, because it shows, that the cast was successfull.
SELECT
CAST(
REPLACE(CAST(de.TRIGGERS_XML_DATA AS VARCHAR(MAX)), 'encoding="utf-16"', '')
AS XML).value('(triggers/triggerDefinition/config/item/value)[1]',
'NVARCHAR(max)') as Item, de.ENVIRONMENT_ID
from dbo.DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT as de
where de.ENVIRONMENT_ID = 19234819
Try this (skip namespace with wildcard):
SELECT
CAST(
REPLACE(CAST(de.TRIGGERS_XML_DATA AS VARCHAR(MAX)), 'encoding="utf-16"', '')
AS XML).value('(*:triggers/*:triggerDefinition/*:config/*:item/*:value)[1]', 'NVARCHAR(max)') as Item, de.ENVIRONMENT_ID
from dbo.DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT as de
where de.ENVIRONMENT_ID = 19234819
And this should be even better:
SELECT
CAST(CAST(de.TRIGGERS_XML_DATA AS NVARCHAR(MAX)) AS XML).value('(*:triggers/*:triggerDefinition/*:config/*:item/*:value)[1]', 'NVARCHAR(max)') as Item, de.ENVIRONMENT_ID
from dbo.DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT as de
where de.ENVIRONMENT_ID = 19234819
UPDATE 3
I'd rather cut away the full declaration. Your posted example would go like this
DECLARE #DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT TABLE(ENVIRONMENT_ID INT, TRIGGERS_XML_DATA NTEXT);
INSERT INTO #DEPLOYMENT_ENVIRONMENT VALUES
(19234819,N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<configuration xml:space="preserve">

SQL Server FOR XML Enclosing Element?
(2 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a Script, which returns a XML using FOR XML in SQL 2008. Is there any way to add the version and encoding information in the beginning of the output. Eventually, i am planning to save the output in a file.
For example, right now my output looks like this
<Agents>
<Agent id="1">
<Name>Mike</Name>
<Location>Sanfrancisco</Location>
</Agent>
<Agent id="2">
<Name>John</Name>
<Location>NY</Location>
</Agent>
</Agents>
I would like to append the line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> in the beginning of the Xml output
So i want the output something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Agents>
<Agent id="1">
<Name>Mike</Name>
<Location>Sanfrancisco</Location>
</Agent>
<Agent id="2">
<Name>John</Name>
<Location>NY</Location>
</Agent>
As #gbn points out in another answer and on another question, "the XML data is stored internally as ucs-2", and SQL Server doesn't include it when producing the data. However, you can convert the XML to a string and append the XML declaration at the beginning manually. However, simply using UTF-8 in the declaration would be inaccurate. The Unicode string which SQL produces is in UCS-2. For example, this will fail:
SELECT CONVERT(xml,N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CONVERT(XML,N'<x>' + NCHAR(10176) + N'</x>')));
with error:
Msg 9402, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 XML parsing: line 1, character 38,
unable to switch the encoding
This, on the other hand, will work as expected:
SELECT CONVERT(xml,N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UCS-2"?>' + CONVERT(NVARCHAR(MAX),CONVERT(XML,N'<x>' + NCHAR(10176) + N'</x>')));
Here is code which will produce the full, declaration-laden XML string you seek for your example data:
DECLARE #Agents TABLE
(
AgentID int,
AgentName nvarchar(50),
AgentLocation nvarchar(100)
);
INSERT INTO #Agents (AgentID, AgentName, AgentLocation) VALUES (1, N'Mike', N'Sanfrancisco');
INSERT INTO #Agents (AgentID, AgentName, AgentLocation) VALUES (2, N'John', N'NY');
WITH BaseData AS
(
SELECT
(
SELECT
AgentID AS '#id',
AgentName AS 'Name',
AgentLocation AS 'Location'
FROM #Agents
FOR XML PATH('Agent'), ROOT('Agents'), TYPE
) AS AgentXML
), FullStringTable AS
(
SELECT
*,
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UCS-2"?>' +
CONVERT(nvarchar(max),AgentXML) AS FullString
FROM BaseData
)
SELECT
AgentXML AS OriginalXML,
FullString,
CONVERT(xml,FullString) AS FullStringConvertedToXML
FROM FullStringTable;
SQL Server internally always uses utf-16 ucs-2 so you could just append it like we did. That is, SQL Server would never generate anything with "utf-8".

If you will not be attempting to manipulate the results as TSQL XML then the simplest thing to do will be create a varchar with the string you wish to append then add the XML to it using a CAST statemnt to convert the XML to varchar.
declare #testXML as XML
declare #testPrefix as varchar(255)
set #testPrefix = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
set #testXML = '<Agents> <Agent id="1"> <Name>Mike</Name> <Location>Sanfrancisco</Location> </Agent> <Agent id="2"> <Name>John</Name> <Location>NY</Location> </Agent></Agents>'
select #testPrefix
Select #testXML
select #testPrefix + CAST(#testXML as varchar(max))
