I have database with two tables: Transaction and from_person.
I need to convert it to specified format like this:
<transaction>
<transaction_number>TRNWEB0147</transaction_number
<transaction_location>felesteen</transaction_location>
<date_transaction>2016-05-25T00:00:00</date_transaction>
<from_funds_code>C</from_funds_code>
<from_person>
<gender>M</gender>
<title>Mr.</title>
<first_name>Mohamed</first_name>
<middle_name>Mohamed</middle_name>
<prefix>AHMED</prefix>
<last_name>yahia</last_name>
<birth_date>1984-11-16T00:00:00</birth_date>
<ssn>28411160225124</ssn>
</from_person>
</transaction>
I try to do this query:
select tr.transactionnumber
,tr.transaction_location
,tr.transaction_description
,tr.date_transaction
,tr.teller
,tr.authorized
,tr.transmode_
,tr.amount_local
,(select fp.from_funds_code
,fp.from_country
from from_person fp
where fp.from_funds_code = tr.t_from_my_client
for xml path(''), elements, type)
from dbo. [ transaction ] tr
for xml path(''), elements, type
but result become in this format:
<transaction_number>TRNWEB0147</transaction_number
<transaction_location>felesteen</transaction_location>
<date_transaction>2016-05-25T00:00:00</date_transaction>
<from_funds_code>C</from_funds_code>
<gender>M</gender>
<title>Mr.</title>
<first_name>Mohamed</first_name>
<middle_name>Mohamed</middle_name>
<prefix>AHMED</prefix>
<last_name>yahia</last_name>
<birth_date>1984-11-16T00:00:00</birth_date>
<ssn>28411160225124</ssn>
I tried many ways but not succeed, please help.
Please use this query.
SELECT transaction_number,transaction_location,date_transaction,from_funds_code,
(
SELECT gender,title,first_name,middle_name,prefix,last_name,birth_date,ssn
FROM from_person FP
WHERE FP.FROM_FUNDS_CODE =TR.T_FROM_MY_CLIENT
FOR XML PATH('from_person'), ELEMENTS, TYPE
)
FROM dbo.[TRANSACTION] TR
FOR XML PATH('transaction'), ELEMENTS, TYPE

In Sql Server I'm using
select * from [Database].[dbo].[Table] for xml path ('whatever')
which gives me an xml output with, importantly, newline
notifiers on any entries that have the new lines.
I need this output wrapped in a few more xml formatting elements but using
select '<?xml version="1.0"?><root><whateverses>'
+ (select * from [Database].[dbo].[Table] for xml path ('whatever'))
+ '</whateverses></root>';
returns just a string, with the newlne notifiers MISSING.
How can I preserve these? How do I wrap my xml in a few extras while keeping the output as an xml?
By trying to wrap the XML in varchar/string you're implicitly converting the XML to varchar/string. If you want to embed the XML in other tags try something like the following:
select *
into [dbo].[Foo]
from (values ('Hello', 'World') ) Src ([Bar], [Baz]);
select *
from [dbo].[Foo]
for xml path ('whatever');
select (
select *
from [dbo].[Foo]
for xml path ('whatever'), type
)
for xml path('whateverses'), root('root');
Which yields the XML results:
<whatever>
<Bar>Hello</Bar>
<Baz>World</Baz>
</whatever>
and:
<root>
<whateverses>
<whatever>
<Bar>Hello</Bar>
<Baz>World</Baz>
</whatever>
</whateverses>
</root>
i m reading an xml, but i have a problem when i want to read it without its inner(child) tags.
for example:
DECLARE #XMLToParse XML
SET #XMLToParse = '<Animals>
<LandAnimals>
<Animal>Baboon</Animal>
<Animal>Yak
<d>asd</d>
</Animal>
<Animal>Zebra</Animal>
</LandAnimals>
</Animals>'
SELECT xmlData.A.value('.', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS Animal
FROM #XMLToParse.nodes('Animals/LandAnimals/Animal') xmlData(A)
this query extracts on the second record 'Yak asd', but i need only 'Yak'.
how can i fix it?
thank you.!
Change your call on .value() to get the text():
SELECT xmlData.A.value('(./text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS Animal
FROM #XMLToParse.nodes('Animals/LandAnimals/Animal') xmlData(A)
Specify text()
SELECT xmlData.A.value('./text()[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS Animal
FROM #XMLToParse.nodes('Animals/LandAnimals/Animal') xmlData(A)
I am trying to generate an XML string based on data in two SQL tables. One contains Order Header data, the other one Line Item data.
My problem is that I can't get the Line Item info to appear properly as multiple elements within a single order:
This is the SQL statement:
Select
LTRIM(RTRIM(H.CustPONbr)) As "Transactions/Transaction/CustomerOrdNumber",
(
Select LTRIM(RTRIM(InvtID)) As "data()" From X888_Amazon_Order_Line L1
Where L1.CpnyID = H.CpnyID And L1.CustPONbr = H.CustPONbr
FOR XML PATH (''), ELEMENTS
) As "Transactions/Transaction/LineItems/LineItem/InvtId"
From X888_Amazon_Order_Header H (nolock)
where h.CustPONbr = '99999014'
For XML PATH ('ProcessEngineSubmission'), Root ('XML'), ELEMENTS
This is the result that I get:
<XML>
<Transactions>
<Transaction>
<CustomerOrdNumber>99999014</CustomerOrdNumber>
<LineItems>
<LineItem>
<InvtId>TEST 1235 TEST 1234</InvtId>
</LineItem>
</LineItems>
</Transaction>
</Transactions>
</XML>
If I execute the inner select (replacing "data()" with InvtId), I get what I am trying to achieve:
<InvtId>TEST 1235</InvtId>
<InvtId>TEST 1234</InvtId>
Try it like this:
Nested selects need the ,TYPE extension to come back as XML...
You might need to specify a path in the inner PATH('') or give a name to the column with AS ...
Select LTRIM(RTRIM(H.CustPONbr)) As "Transactions/Transaction/CustomerOrdNumber"
,(
Select LTRIM(RTRIM(InvtID))
From X888_Amazon_Order_Line L1
Where L1.CpnyID = H.CpnyID And L1.CustPONbr = H.CustPONbr
FOR XML PATH (''), TYPE
) As "Transactions/Transaction/LineItems/LineItem/InvtId"
From X888_Amazon_Order_Header H (nolock)
where h.CustPONbr = '99999014'
For XML PATH ('ProcessEngineSubmission'), Root ('XML')
Currently I have an xml structure that is built like this.
<Project>
<ProjectAttribute>
<AttributeId></AttributeId>
<FieldName></FieldName>
<Title></Title>
<DisplayRow></DisplayRow>
<DisplayColumn></DisplayColumn>
<IsRequired></IsRequired>
<RequiredErrorMessage></RequiredErrorMessage>
<DevExpressControl>
<DevExpressControlId></DevExpressControlId>
<Class></Class>
<ClientNamePrefix></ClientNamePrefix>
</DevExpressControl>
<DataType>
<DataTypeId></DataTypeId>
<Name></Name>
</DataType>
</ProjectAttribute>
</Project>
I want to rename ProjectAttribute with the value of FieldName. I am unsure how to do this at the moment, seeing how when I try to put the value of that field into the XML Path, I get an error.
Here is what my sql looks like.
Set #output = (
SELECT poa.AttributeId, pa.FieldName, pa.Title, poa.DisplayRow,
poa.DisplayColumn, poa.IsRequired, pa.RequiredErrorMessage,
(SELECT de.DevExpressControlId, de.Class, de.ClientNamePrefix
FROM SCC_DevExpressControl de
WHERE de.DevExpressControlId = pa.DevExpressControlId
FOR XML Path(''), type) AS DevExpressControl,
(SELECT dt.DataTypeId, dt.Name
FROM SCC_DataType dt
WHERE dt.DataTypeId = pa.DataTypeId
FOR XML Path(''), type) AS DataType
FROM SCC_ProjectOfficeAttribute poa
LEFT JOIN SCC_ProjectAttribute pa ON poa.AttributeId = pa.AttributeId
WHERE poa.OfficeId = #OfficeId
AND poa.Status = 1
ORDER BY poa.DisplayRow, poa.DisplayColumn
FOR XML Path('ProjectAttribute'), type, Root('Project'))
select #output
#OfficeId is just an int, and #output is simply the xml. Where I am writing in the XML Path for ProjectAttribute is what I want to replace. My question is how do I get that value in there?
UPDATE: I am still somewhat at a loss. I have tried moving things like AttributeId and FieldName into the main node itself for ProjectAttribute, but this does not really fulfill my requirements.
I have a simple XML tree:
<manufacturer = 'Audi'>
<make = 'A4'>
<color>Black</color>
<build_date>11th May 2014</build_date>
</make>
</manufacturer>
I know I can query data using:
<Query>
<ElementPath>
manufacturer{}/make{color, build_date}
</ElementPath>
</Query>
What I'd like to do is filter the results using the date attribute. Like a SQL WHERE clause. So in this example it's cars that are built after a specified date. Is this possible?
You would need set a filter on the data set in SSRS on the Build_date Field:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255287.aspx
Yes you can filter the result from an xml. An example to your query is as below
SELECT
[xmlField].value('(/person//firstName/node())[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') as FirstName,
[xmlField].value('(/person//lastName/node())[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') as LastName
FROM [myTable]
