I have a data structure as such:
<rootnode>
<group>
<id>1</id>
<anothernode>first string</anothernode>
<anothernode>second string</anothernode>
</group>
<group>
<id>2</id>
<anothernode>third string</anothernode>
<anothernode>fourth string</anothernode>
</group>
</rootnode>
And the following code:
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @index OUTPUT, @XMLdoc
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML (@index, 'rootnode/group')
WITH
(
id int 'id',
anothernode varchar(30) 'anothernode'
)
which gives me the result
id | anothernode
————————————————
1 | first string
2 | third string
How can I get it to show this result instead where all four strings are showing instead?
id | anothernode
————————————————
1 | first string
1 | second string
2 | third string
2 | fourth string
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML (@index, 'rootnode/group/anothernode')
WITH
(
id int '../id',
anothernode varchar(30) '.'
)
Or you can use the XML datatype instead like this:
SELECT G.N.value('(id/text())[1]', 'int') AS id,
A.N.value('text()[1]', 'varchar(30)') AS anothernode
FROM @XMLDoc.nodes('rootnode/group') AS G(N)
CROSS APPLY G.N.nodes('anothernode') AS A(N)
