Can anyone provide a sample sql script for extracting all the data from it please.
i would really apreciate this since im new to xml.
Thanks in advance.

If you have your data in a table already, you can use something like this:
DECLARE #Tmp TABLE (ID INT NOT NULL, XmlContent XML)
INSERT INTO #TMP VALUES(1, '......(your entire XML here).......)
SELECT
ID,
MACHINE = XmlContent.value('(/recordedData/machine)[1]', 'varchar(50)'),
RecordingDate = XmlContent.value('(/recordedData/date)[1]', 'varchar(50)'),
RecordingTime = XmlContent.value('(/recordedData/hour)[1]', 'varchar(50)'),
VariableName = XVar.value('(Name)[1]', 'varchar(50)'),
VariableValue = XVar.value('(Value)[1]', 'varchar(50)')
FROM
#Tmp
CROSS APPLY
XmlContent.nodes('/recordedData/CollectedData/variable') AS XTbl(XVar)
This gives you an output something like:
.... and so on - listing all the variables with their name and value.
