  Hia all, i have this query

  create table LockChain (Bloqueador int,

  Bloqueado int,

  Handle varbinary(max),

  Comando xml

  )

  insert into LockChain (Bloqueador ,

  Bloqueado ,

  Handle ,

  Comando

  )

  SELECT A.Blocking_Session_ID,

  A.Session_ID,

  A.sql_handle,

  cast(x.text as xml)

  --INTOLockChain

  FROMsys.dm_exec_requests A

  CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text (a.sql_handle) AS x

  WHEREBlocking_Session_ID <> 0

  and i want to put the "cast(x.text as xml)" into a column "comando" in

  LockChain table.

  This way does not work...How can i do that ?

  The error was

  XML parsing: line 39, character 24, illegal qualified name character

  In order to cast a text string to the XML datatype, the text string must be valid XML. The text column that is returned from sys.dm_exec_sql_text is not XML.

  See sys.dm_exec_sql_text in the Books Online (BOL).
