Scalar variable

  • When I am creating a data in the XML document type in SQL. At the time of

    executing the

    sp_xml_preparedocument i am getting the error "Must declare the scalar variable @doc"

    At the time of creating an internal representation of the xml document by

    "exec sp_xml_preparedocument @doc output, @xmldoc

    I am getting the error message:- Must declare the scalar variable "@doc"

    please let me know what is to be done.

    I have attached a file in which my code is written.

  • Can you include the full code with the sp_xml_preparedocument statement and also indicate how you are running the script?

    I took your code and included sp_xml_preparedocument in the last line and seem to work ok without any errors when I executed the whole block together in Microsoft Sql*Server Management Studio Query analyser.

    see below

    DECLARE @DOC int

    DECLARE @XMLDOC nvarchar(1000)

    SET @XMLDOC = N'

    '

    exec sp_xml_preparedocument @doc output, @xmldoc

  • Assuming you're running on SS2K5 (since posted in 2K5 forum), you should look into XQuery instead of openxml.

    Example:

    DECLARE @XMLDOC xml

    SET @XMLDOC = N'

    '

    SELECT

    c.value('@CustomerID[1]','varchar(30)') AS CustID

    FROM @XMLDOC.nodes('/ROOT/Customer') AS T(c)

    /* result set

    CustID

    JH01

    SG01

    */

    For further details on how to use XQuery I recommend ther article series of J. Sebastian "XML Workshop", especially for a start http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Miscellaneous/2996/.
