there are 2 types of movement xml objects in my XMLCollection table, Acquire and Purchase. I want to exclude Acquire in my resultset.
This is what i have currently but its throws an exception
value() requires a singleton (or empty sequence), found operand of type 'xdt:untypedAtomic *'
SELECT
XML.value('(/*[local-name()="Movement"][@Context="Purchase"])','varchar(50)') AS Purchase
from
XMLCollection
any help appreciated

Hi there,

hope this helps

DECLARE @x XML, @xdoc INT

-- OVER HERE!!!

--- Dear admins, there seems to be a glitch when entering XML code here in the forums.

--- please fix it when possible. thank you.

--- Ok, the xml below as you would notice does not have any<>... CAUSE i removed them...

--- WHY? every time i save this, it reads the xml data not as ordinary text

--- and my xml script does not appear, as in pure blank. try to post one yourself

--- I don't intend to be rude, but please fix it when posible thanks ^__^

--- we all experience glitches sometimes

--- for the ones who will use the code, just put the <> where they should be before executing

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SET @x=

' ROOT

Movement ID="1" Context="Acquire"/

Movement ID="2" Context="Acquire"/

Movement ID="3" Context="Purchase"/

Movement ID="4" Context="Acquire"/

Movement ID="5" Context="Purchase"/

Movement ID="6" Context="Purchase"/

Movement ID="7" Context="Acquire"/

Movement ID="8" Context="Purchase"/

/ROOT

'

SELECT @x

EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @xdoc OUT, @x

SELECT ID,Context

FROM OPENXML (@xdoc,'/ROOT/Movement',2)

WITH (ID INT '@ID', Context VARCHAR(10) '@Context')

WHERE Context<>'Acquire'

EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @xdoc
