SELECT FROM XML MULTIPLE ELEMENTS SQL - sql

Question

I have a return of XML that I wish to select using SQL. I don't have a problem selecting from the XML when I specify the index for the element. This is the XML in question.
<root httpStatusCode="200">
<messages />
<succesfulResponses>
<item position="0">
<response dln="TESTDLN" ServiceVersion="1" hubServiceVersion="1.0.0.0" ProcessingDate="2017-11-20T10:42:20.579Z" hubProcessingDate="2017-11-20T10:41:16.5415151Z" httpStatusCode="200">
<licence status="FC" validFrom="2017-03-18" validTo="2024-10-31" directiveIndicator="4">
<entitlements>
<item code="A" validFrom="2006-04-07" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="P">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="AM" validFrom="2014-10-21" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="F">
<restrictions>
<item type="122" info="null" />
</restrictions>
</item>
<item code="B" validFrom="2014-10-21" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="F">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="BE" validFrom="2014-11-01" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="P">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="F" validFrom="2014-10-21" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="F">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="G" validFrom="2014-11-01" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="P">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="H" validFrom="2014-11-01" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="P">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="K" validFrom="2014-10-21" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="F">
<restrictions />
</item>
<item code="Q" validFrom="2014-10-21" validTo="2057-05-20" priorTo="false" type="F">
<restrictions>
<item type="122" info="null" />
</restrictions>
</item>
</entitlements>
<endorsements />
</licence>
<messages />
</response>
</item>
</succesfulResponses>
<errorResponses />
</root>
The SQL I have written so far is as follows:
select
Rec.value('(#dln)[1]','char(50)'),
Rec.value('(licence/#status)[1]','char(2)'),
pd.value('(entitlements/item/#code)[1]','char(2)')
FROM #xmlData.nodes('//root/succesfulResponses/item/response') as x(Rec)
cross apply #xmlData.nodes('//root/succesfulResponses/item/response/licence') as i(pd)
This returns the obviously First Row code of 'A', however there can be multiple 'entitlements' and I don't ever know how many there could be 3 there could be 9.
I thought a Cross Apply would work but I can't seem to make that work either.
Any thoughts/help.

Answer 1

Try this - expand the XPath after the CROSS APPLY to include the entitlements/item part:
select
Rec.value('(#dln)[1]','char(50)'),
Rec.value('(licence/#status)[1]','char(2)'),
pd.value('#code', 'char(2)')
FROM
#xmlData.nodes('//root/succesfulResponses/item/response') as x(Rec)
cross apply
#xmlData.nodes('//root/succesfulResponses/item/response/licence/entitlements/item') as i(pd)
Returns:

The variant with OPENXML
DECLARE #idoc int, #doc varchar(MAX)
SET #doc='<root httpStatusCode="200">

<succesfulResponses>
