Concatenate time into sql string - sql

I am trying to execute a stored procedure with parameters of int, varchar,varchar,varchar.
Inside of the last one, the element Step has an attribute start, where i want to hold the value of the current datetime. How can I concatenante this into a string.
The Error:
Incorrect Syntax Near '+'
EXEC spData_Update #num,'<Info></Info>','<Metrics></Metrics>',
'<step start="' + SELECT CONVERT(varchar(50),getdate()) + '" end="" user="InsertFromWeb">
<type id="1" value="2" />
<type id="2" value="0" />
<type id="3" value="0" />
<type id="4" value="0" />
</step>'

You can declare a variable to hold the last string.
declare #date varchar(1000)
set #date = (select
'<step start="' + CONVERT(varchar(50),getdate()) + '" end="" user="InsertFromWeb">
<type id="1" value="2" />
<type id="2" value="0" />
<type id="3" value="0" />
<type id="4" value="0" />
</step>')
EXEC spData_Update #num,'<Info></Info>','<Metrics></Metrics>', #date

replace XML variable in sql [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Updating SQL Server XML node
(2 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
How do I replace the variable value of xml in sql? I need to change the values of ID and Text.
Sample XML
<Values>
<ValueList>
<Entry key="Num" type="Values">
<value ID="1" Text="One" />
</Entry>
<Entry key="Name" type="Values">
<value ID="2" Text="two" />
</Entry>
</ValueList>
</Values>
You can modified the ID value like following. Here I am updating ID="1" to "111", similarly you can change the text for a specific text using modify.
DECLARE #XML XML
SET #XML= '<Values> <ValueList> <Entry key="Num" type="Values"> <value ID="1" Text="One" /> </Entry> <Entry key="Name" type="Values"> <value ID="2" Text="two" /> </Entry> </ValueList> </Values>'
SET #XML.modify('replace value of (Values/ValueList/Entry/value[#ID eq ("1")]/#ID)[1] with ("1111")')
select #XML
If you want to use variables, it can be achieved like following.
DECLARE #XML XML
Declare #IDTOReplace VARCHAR(5)='1'
DECLARE #IDWithReplace VARCHAR(5) = '111'
SET #XML= '<Values> <ValueList> <Entry key="Num" type="Values"> <value ID="1" Text="One" /> </Entry> <Entry key="Name" type="Values"> <value ID="2" Text="two" /> </Entry> </ValueList> </Values>'
SET #XML.modify('replace value of (Values/ValueList/Entry/value[#ID eq sql:variable("#IDTOReplace")]/#ID)[1] with sql:variable("#IDWithReplace")')
select #XML
If you want to change the Text based on some Id, it can be achieved like following.
DECLARE #XML XML
Declare #IDTOReplace VARCHAR(5)='1'
DECLARE #TextToReplace VARCHAR(100) = 'NewText'
SET #XML= '<Values> <ValueList> <Entry key="Num" type="Values"> <value ID="1" Text="One" /> </Entry> <Entry key="Name" type="Values"> <value ID="2" Text="two" /> </Entry> </ValueList> </Values>'
SET #XML.modify('replace value of (Values/ValueList/Entry/value[#ID eq sql:variable("#IDTOReplace")]/#Text)[1] with sql:variable("#TextToReplace")')
select #XML

Get XML from different Tables

Good day to you!
I have a question. Can't get how combine 2 tables in 1 result XML.
Here is the sample
DECLARE #t1 table (ID int identity(1,1), SomeField varchar(50))
DECLARE #t2 table (ID int identity(1,1), SomeField varchar(50), AnotherField varchar(50))
INSERT INTO #t1 (SomeField) VALUES ('rec1'),('rec2'),('rec3'),('rec4')
INSERT INTO #t2 (SomeField,AnotherField) VALUES ('s106','here'),('s12','just'),('s13','sample')
SELECT * FROM #t1 AS FirstTable
SELECT * FROM #t2 AS AnotherTable
Wanted result:
<Root>
<FirstTable ID="1" SomeField="rec1" />
<FirstTable ID="2" SomeField="rec2" />
<FirstTable ID="3" SomeField="rec3" />
<FirstTable ID="4" SomeField="rec4" />
<AnotherTable ID="1" SomeField="s106" AnotherField="here" />
<AnotherTable ID="2" SomeField="s12" AnotherField="just" />
<AnotherTable ID="3" SomeField="s13" AnotherField="sample" />
</Root>
dbfiddle here
New remark (edited)
answered by John Cappelletti, but need put all this inside third table.
Here is new code:
DECLARE #t1 table (ID int identity(1,1), tID int, SomeField varchar(50))
DECLARE #t2 table (ID int identity(1,1), tID int, SomeField varchar(50), AnotherField varchar(50))
DECLARE #t3 table (ID int identity(1,1), field1 varchar(50), field2 varchar(50))
INSERT INTO #t1 (tID,SomeField) VALUES (1,'rec1'),(1,'rec2'),(1,'rec3'),(1,'rec4')
INSERT INTO #t2 (tID,SomeField,AnotherField) VALUES (1,'s106','here'),(1,'s12','just'),(1,'s13','sample')
INSERT INTO #t3 (field1,field2) VALUES ('field1 Value','field2 Value')
Wanted result (finally):
<ThirdTable ID="1" field1="field1 Value" field2="field2 Value">
<FirstTable ID="1" tID="1" SomeField="rec1" />
<FirstTable ID="2" tID="1" SomeField="rec2" />
<FirstTable ID="3" tID="1" SomeField="rec3" />
<FirstTable ID="4" tID="1" SomeField="rec4" />
<AnotherTable ID="1" tID="1" SomeField="s106" AnotherField="here" />
<AnotherTable ID="2" tID="1" SomeField="s12" AnotherField="just" />
<AnotherTable ID="3" tID="1" SomeField="s13" AnotherField="sample" />
</ThirdTable>
Select [root] = cast((Select * From #t1 for xml raw('FirstTable'))
+(Select * From #t2 for xml raw('AnotherTable'))
as xml)
For XML Path(''),Type
Returns
<root>
<FirstTable ID="1" SomeField="rec1" />
<FirstTable ID="2" SomeField="rec2" />
<FirstTable ID="3" SomeField="rec3" />
<FirstTable ID="4" SomeField="rec4" />
<AnotherTable ID="1" SomeField="s106" AnotherField="here" />
<AnotherTable ID="2" SomeField="s12" AnotherField="just" />
<AnotherTable ID="3" SomeField="s13" AnotherField="sample" />
</root>
Added for the Extended Question
Select *
,(select cast(
isnull((Select * From #t1 for xml raw('FirstTable')),'')
+isnull((Select * From #t2 for xml raw('AnotherTable')),'')
as xml)
)
From #t3 for xml raw('ThirdTable')
Returns
<ThirdTable ID="1" field1="field1 Value" field2="field2 Value">

<AnotherTable ID="1" tID="1" SomeField="s106" AnotherField="here" />
<AnotherTable ID="2" tID="1" SomeField="s12" AnotherField="just" />
<AnotherTable ID="3" tID="1" SomeField="s13" AnotherField="sample" />

sp_xml_preparedocument go with error "Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document"

I'am trying to execute sp_xml_preparedocument and geting error "Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document"
my T-SQL commands:
DECLARE #aa XML
DECLARE #idoc int
SET #aa =(select * from db_name for xml auto, xmldata)
#aa now is

I'am new in this, and i need help)))
An one more question - How parse timestamp type?
if i use
SET #aa =(select * from db_name for xml elements, root('root'), type)
sp_xml_preparedocument works fine, OPENXML returns all values of my db_table, but timestamp values looks not the same as were..
Sorry for my bad English
SELECT #aa returns

An XML document must have one root element only - see W3C specification.
Thus in you case if Schema is the root element you cannot add the Person elements at the end
Make sure that there is no duplicate entries for the record that you are trying to get

sql select data from XML param

whats the SQL for selecting the values from this XML chunk like done in the sample below?
<RWFCriteria reportType="OPRAProject">
<item id="88" name="" value="" type="Project" />
<item id="112" name="" value="12" type="Milestone" />
<item id="43" name="" value="11" type="Milestone" />
</RWFCriteria>
i want to select out similar to this but with the above XML data
DECLARE #Param XML
SET #Param = '<data>
<release id="1"><milestone id="1" /><milestone id="2" /></release>
<release id="3"><milestone id="1" /><milestone id="27"/></release>
</data>'
SELECT c.value('../#id', 'INT') AS ReleaseId, c.value('#id', 'INT') AS MilestoneId
FROM #Param.nodes('/data/release/milestone') AS T(c)
I want only the data in the nodes where type="Milestone"
Something like this:
DECLARE #Param XML
SET #Param = '<RWFCriteria reportType="OPRAProject">
<item id="88" name="" value="" type="Project" />
<item id="112" name="" value="12" type="Milestone" />
<item id="43" name="" value="11" type="Milestone" />
</RWFCriteria>'
SELECT
RWF.item.value('#id', 'INT') AS 'Id',
RWF.item.value('#name', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS 'Name',
RWF.item.value('#value', 'INT') AS 'Value',
RWF.item.value('#type', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS 'Type'
FROM
#Param.nodes('/RWFCriteria/item') AS RWF(item)
WHERE
RWF.item.value('#type', 'VARCHAR(100)') = 'Milestone'
Resulting output:
Id Name Value Type
112 12 Milestone
43 11 Milestone

T-SQL Dynamic xquery

I am trying to figure out how I can load my table variable with data from XML using dynamic xquery? I am getting a result set of nodes from the query and defining the value type of those nodes. It seems that it is the value definition of the nodes that it is blowing up on.
Here is an example of the script that works, but is not dynamic.
Script:
DECLARE #XML XML = '<root>
<data>
<list id="organization" label="Organization">
<options>
<item value="1" label="Organization1" selected="false" />
<item value="2" label="Organization2" selected="false" />
<item value="3" label="Organization3" selected="false" />
<item value="4" label="Organization4" selected="true" />
<item value="5" label="Organization5" selected="true" />
</options>
</list>
</data>
</root>';
DECLARE #Orgs TABLE (ID INT);
Insert Into #Orgs(ID) Select OrgNameIdNodes.ID.value('#value','int') from #xml.nodes('//*[#id="organization"]//item[#selected="true"]') as OrgNameIdNodes(ID);
Select *
from #orgs
What I would like to be able to do is pass in parameters for both value and the #xml.nodes sections so I would have something like:
Insert Into #Orgs(ID) Select OrgNameIdNodes.ID.value(#Value) from #xml.nodes(#Nodes) as OrgNameIdNodes(ID);
Is this possible?
How about using sp_executesql with dynamic sql. Something like:
DECLARE #XML XML = '<root>
<data>
<list id="organization" label="Organization">
<options>
<item value="1" label="Organization1" selected="false" />
<item value="2" label="Organization2" selected="false" />
<item value="3" label="Organization3" selected="false" />
<item value="4" label="Organization4" selected="true" />
<item value="5" label="Organization5" selected="true" />
</options>
</list>
</data>
</root>';
declare #orgs table(ID int);
declare #nodes nvarchar(4000),
#value nvarchar(4000),
#query nvarchar(4000)
select #value = '''#value'',''int'''
select #nodes = '//*[#id="organization"]//item[#selected="true"]'
select #query = 'Select OrgNameIdNodes.ID.value( ' + #value + ') ' +
'from #xml.nodes(''' + #nodes + ''') as OrgNameIdNodes(ID)'
insert into #Orgs(ID) EXEC sp_executesql #query, N'#xml xml', #xml = #xml
Select *
from #orgs
