Read #text value from XML document

  • Hello Everyone,

    I have an XML document from which i would like to read a value that is placed in something called #text (file attached).

    I was able to retrevie values from @name from row 20 ("TestUser")  using following below query but i don't know how to control access to all other rows. For example what query should i use to retrive values from row 21 ("Remo_test User")

    SELECT
    MY_XML.Usery.value('.','nvarchar(max)') as 'User'
    FROM (SELECT CAST(MY_XML AS xml)
    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\Lukasz\Apps\Ramo\SIN\SecutrityUsers.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(MY_XML)) AS T(MY_XML)
    CROSS APPLY MY_XML.nodes('SecurityData/Users/User/Property') AS MY_XML (Usery)
    WHERE
    MY_XML.Usery.value('(@name)[1]','nvarchar(max)') like 'core.fullname'
    Order By 1

  • You have to do some outer applies.

    declare @x xml

    SELECT @x = CAST(MY_XML AS xml)

    FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\Users\MyUser\Documents\Lukasz\Apps\Ramo\SIN\SecutrityUsers.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS T(MY_XML)

    SELECT B2.NameId AS Name,

    B3.PropertyValue as PropertyValue

    FROM @x.nodes('/SecurityData/Users') AS A(DataNode)

    outer APPLY A.DataNode.nodes('User/Property') AS B(Property)

    OUTER APPLY (SELECT B.Property.value('@name','nvarchar(max)')) AS B2(NameId)

    OUTER APPLY (SELECT B.Property.value('.','nvarchar(max)')) AS B3(PropertyValue)
