I have SP which takes input as XML in sql 2000 and then I open a cursor using that XML for specific node level. Then I open the cursor using XML and update the table records one-by-one.
2nd way is I declared the @table and inserted the XML node level records into @table variable and then doing update joining the @table with main table which I need to update.
after some monts I need to migrate this db from 2000 to 2008.
Please suggest the correct way to Use of cursors with XML data in sql 2000.

Would you please provide some sample data to test against together with your expected result?

For details on how to post those data please see the link in my signature.

It's some kind of a challenge to design a xml procedure in SS2K knowing that the server will be moved to 2K8 in the near future:

Design for SS2K would limit you to OPENXML, leaving out the power of XQuery provided with SS2K5 and higher.

Design it for 2K8 right away using XQuery won't let you use it in SS2K.

If you have something working already for SS2K I'd recommend you leave it as it is and do a complete redesign for SS2K8. Most probably the cursor will be gone ...

If you need help, please describe what you need to do a little more detailed.
