T-SQL convert xml field to multi column table - sql

Question

I am trying to convert data from a xml field into a table. I have found multiple solutions on this website, but none of them seem to give me exactly what I need.
The xml looks like this:
<table>
<id>{100}</id>
<rows>
<row>
<columns>
<column name="cur" value="EUR" type="System.String" />
<column name="item" value="Item a" type="System.String" />
<column name="price" value="2.5" type="System.Decimal" />
<column name="qty" value="20" type="System.Int32" />
<column name="Key" value="1" type="System.Int32" />
</columns>
</row>
<row>
<columns>
<column name="cur" value="EUR" type="System.String" />
<column name="item" value="Item b" type="System.String" />
<column name="price" value="30" type="System.Decimal" />
<column name="qty" value="30" type="System.Int32" />
<column name="Key" value="2" type="System.Int32" />
</columns>
</row>
</rows>
<key>Key</key>
</table>
I would like the result to look like this:
id key cur item price qty
100 1 EUR Item a 2.5 20
100 2 EUR Item b 30 30
I hope someone can help me.

Try it like this:
DECLARE #x XML=
'<table>
<id>{100}</id>
<rows>
<row>
<columns>
<column name="cur" value="EUR" type="System.String" />
<column name="item" value="Item a" type="System.String" />
<column name="price" value="2.5" type="System.Decimal" />
<column name="qty" value="20" type="System.Int32" />
<column name="Key" value="1" type="System.Int32" />
</columns>
</row>
<row>
<columns>
<column name="cur" value="EUR" type="System.String" />
<column name="item" value="Item b" type="System.String" />
<column name="price" value="30" type="System.Decimal" />
<column name="qty" value="30" type="System.Int32" />
<column name="Key" value="2" type="System.Int32" />
</columns>
</row>
</rows>
<key>Key</key>
</table>';
SELECT #x.value('(/table/id)[1]','varchar(max)') AS id --are the curly brackets there on purpose?
,Rw.value('(columns/column[#name="Key"]/#value)[1]','int') AS [key]
,Rw.value('(columns/column[#name="cur"]/#value)[1]','varchar(max)') AS cur
,Rw.value('(columns/column[#name="item"]/#value)[1]','varchar(max)') AS item
,Rw.value('(columns/column[#name="price"]/#value)[1]','decimal(10,4)') AS price
,Rw.value('(columns/column[#name="qty"]/#value)[1]','int') AS qty
FROM #x.nodes('/table/rows/row') AS A(Rw)
