Sep 29, 2007Hi,I am using xquery to extract XML fragments from my database.

Query Data From XML Column With XQuery
Jan 22, 2013I am trying to learn XQuery and Xpath in SQL Server. I created a sample file and uploaded it to a Table with 2 columns ID, XMLDoc. The below code is within the document in the XMLDoc column so it is the only record in the column.
I am trying to query the file so it will show all the results in a table like a normal select statement would. How would you construct the select statement to select all the information like a select * ? How would you select one field like all suppliers? I would like to select the supplier, requestor for each item.
Here is the xml:
Code:
<tst:Document xmlns:tst ="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" SchemaVersion="0.1" Classification="Test" UniqueIdentifier="1234" Title="Test">
<tst:Revision RevNumber="0" TimeStamp="2013-01-21T12:56:00">

T-SQL (SS2K8) :: XQuery Syntax To Evaluate Math Formula
Feb 25, 2015I want to evaluate a math formula inside of a function, so I can't use dynamic SQL.
I found that the query on an XML-variable with a literal works well.
DECLARE @sParsedFormula varchar(200);
DECLARE @xFormula xml;
SET @xFormula = '';
SET @sParsedFormula = '1+2';
SELECT @xFormula.query('3+3') , @xFormula.query('sql:variable("@sParsedFormula")')Output (1st value is correctly evaluated, 2nd not):
"6", "1+2"
I can't directly pass @sParsedFormula to the query otherwise I get "The argument 1 of the XML data type method "query" must be a string literal". What is the correct XQuery-syntax to evaluate the SQL:variable?

Does SQL Server 2005 Express Support XQuery Static Type Analysis?
Jan 1, 2007I am quite curious about SQL Server 2005 Express, since I am conducting an XQuery implementation survey for my thesis study.
Yet I still got some questions and may need your help:
1. Does SQL Server 2005 Express support XQuery static type analysis (from http://www.w3.org/TR/xquery-semantics/)?
2. If so, since the W3C standard is still changing, how do you keep up
with the change efficiently?
Your help will be appreciated.

SQL XML :: Handling Namespace In XQuery - Declaring A Namespace - What Is AWMI
Aug 4, 2015After I learned the XML Schemas Collection, Using XML Data and 5 XML data type methods : query(), valuse(), exist(), modify(), and node(), I just started to do XQuery by using the Microsoft XQuery Language Reference - SQL Server 2012 Books Online and Handling Namespaces in XQuery of [URL]. I copied the following code:
-- Handlimng Namespace in Xquery (Page 6 of XQuery Languge Reference & Examples of msdn library)
-- Example A. Declaring a namespace
-- saved as MicrosoftXQueryPage6 in C:DocumentsXquery-SQLServer2012
-- 4 Aug 2015 10:55 AM
SELECT Instructions.query('
declare namespace AWMI="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/07/adventure-works/ProductModelManuInstructions";
/AWMI:root/AWMI:Location[1]/AWMI:step
') as Result
FROM Production.ProductModel
WHERE ProductModelID=7
I executed the code in my Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). It worked nicely.
<AWMI:step xmlns:AWMI="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/07/adventure-works/ProductModelManuInstructions">

</AWMI:step>
<AWMI:step xmlns:AWMI="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/07/adventure-works/ProductModelManuInstructions">

But, I don't know what AWMI means and what the results of SELECT Instructions.query(' declare namespace... are.

I decided to use OPENROWSET for importing data from an excel file into a sql table.When I import the data,I have a problem:
-not all the data is imported to my sql table
-some values in the sql table are different from the ones in the excel file

Can somebody pls tell me what's the problem
OpenRowSet BUG?
Jul 23, 2005Hi Folks,I am trying to load data from a table in MS Access to SQL Server 2000using T-SQL OPENROWSET. When I select data from the remote database (MSAccess) using SQL Query analyzer, the columns do NOT appear in the sameorder as seen in Access directly.For e.g. if Access table has columns Cy, Cx, Cz the output in Queryanalyzer appears as Cx, Cy, Cz. It appears to arrange the fieldsalphabetically. This causes problems when I do a 'insert into select *from' as the field definitions do not agree.Is this a bug or is there a setting in Access/SQL which I am missing?Also, please let me know if there is a workaround for this issue.Thanks in advance!Bhaskar

OPENROWSET To Excel

I am having trouble exporting the correct data from sql server to an excel spreadsheet using 'OPENROWSET'
The problem is that although the data from my sql table is say :
'a',1,2,3 , the excel spreadsheet sees the data as :
'a','1,'2,'3 ..1,2,3 are of course numbers NOT text, its just that the driver has put a single appostraphy before the number !
I know there is a bug with the ISAM driver but has anyone managed to solve this or has anyone have any alternatives ?
best regards

Openrowset And Excel
Apr 17, 2007I'm doing an openrowset query on an excel sheet. (Using SQL Server 2005) Everything works great, except that I have one column that has both numeric and text data in the spreadsheet.

Any suggestions?
I run:
select *
from openrowset('microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0',
'Excel 8.0;database=[filepathandname],
'select * from [Sheet1$A4:G5000]')
on spreadsheet data that looks like:
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 455
. . .
and get something like . . . .
Model_id Model_name
. . .
123 t4556
124 x225
125 NULL
