How do i load that ID field into SQL? I tried this:
But i believe my cross apply c.nodes is wrong! What Markups should i use?
Thanks
SELECT a.id.query('id').value('.','varchar(50)') as id FROM
( SELECT CAST(C AS XML) FROM OPENROWSET (BULK '\\test\master.xml', SINGLE_BLOB ) as T(c) ) AS S(c)
cross apply c.nodes('product/id') as A(id)

Answer 1

You ca try this:
SELECT c.id.query('id').value('.','varchar(50)') as id FROM
( SELECT CAST(C AS XML) FROM OPENROWSET (BULK '\\test\master.xml', SINGLE_BLOB ) as T(c) ) AS T(c)
cross apply c.nodes('product/id') as c(id)
But in your shared xml couldn't find an id tag within product tag.
Here I am sharing an Example:
XML File content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Customers>
<Customer>
<Document>000 000 000</Document>
<Name>Mary Angel</Name>
<Address>Your City, YC 1212</Address>
<Profession>Systems Analyst</Profession>
</Customer>
<Customer>
<Document>000 000 001</Document>
<Name>John Lenon</Name>
<Address>Your City, YC 1212</Address>
<Profession>Driver</Profession>
</Customer>
<Customer>
<Document>000 000 002</Document>
<Name>Alice Freeman</Name>
<Address>Your City, YC 1212</Address>
<Profession>Architect</Profession>
</Customer>
<Customer>
<Document>000 000 003</Document>
<Name>George Sands</Name>
<Address>Your City, YC 1212</Address>
<Profession>Doctor</Profession>
</Customer>
<Customer>
<Document>000 000 004</Document>
<Name>Mark Oliver</Name>
<Address>Your City, YC 1212</Address>
<Profession>Writer</Profession>
</Customer>
</Customers>
Copy above content and save as a xml file in d drive named testxmlfile.xml
Then try below query:
SELECT
MY_XML.Customer.query('Document').value('.', 'VARCHAR(20)') Document,
MY_XML.Customer.query('Name').value('.', 'VARCHAR(50)') Name,
MY_XML.Customer.query('Address').value('.', 'VARCHAR(50)')Address,
MY_XML.Customer.query('Profession').value('.', 'VARCHAR(50)' )Profession
FROM (SELECT CAST(MY_XML AS xml)
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'd:\testxmlfile.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(MY_XML)) AS T(MY_XML)
CROSS APPLY MY_XML.nodes('Customers/Customer') AS MY_XML (Customer);
Output:
Document Name Address Profession
000 000 000 Mary Angel Your City, YC 1212 Systems Analyst
000 000 001 John Lenon Your City, YC 1212 Driver
000 000 002 Alice Freeman Your City, YC 1212 Architect
000 000 003 George Sands Your City, YC 1212 Doctor
000 000 004 Mark Oliver Your City, YC 1212 Writer

Answer 2

You haven't been clear about what exactly you want, but it looks like you want the attribute product-id from here:
<product product-id="0217328320-sso-us">
You haven't taken into account namespaces, you need to add that.
It's also unclear if you have multiple product nodes. If you do, then you need this
WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'http://www.demandware.com/xml/impex/catalog/2006-10-31')
SELECT A.product.value('#product-id','varchar(50)') as id
FROM
( SELECT CAST(C AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK '\\test\master.xml', SINGLE_BLOB ) as T(c)
) AS S(c)
cross apply S.c.nodes('/catalog/product') as A(product)
If you have only one product node then you don't need .values at all:
WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'http://www.demandware.com/xml/impex/catalog/2006-10-31')
SELECT S.c.value('/catalog/product/#product-id','varchar(50)') as id FROM
FROM
( SELECT CAST(C AS XML)
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK '\\test\master.xml', SINGLE_BLOB ) as T(c)
) AS S(c)
