Getting ready for 70-461, and reviewing some XML... Running this query makes it seem like the two are the same... is this always the case? Or am I missing something?
IF OBJECT_ID('XMLForHomework') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE XMLForHomework
CREATE TABLE XMLForHomework
(
ID INT PRIMARY KEY IDENTITY (1,1),
FirstName varchar(20),
LastName varchar(20),
FavoriteTeam varchar(10)
)
-- Add some stuff
INSERT INTO XMLForHomework VALUES
('Ben', 'Jamin', 'Tribe'),
('Chris', 'Smith', 'Sox'),
('Beth', 'Smith', 'Cubs'),
('Your', 'Mom', 'Yanks'),
('Your', 'Dad', 'Mets')
--
--SELECT * FROM XMLForHomework FOR XML AUTO
--SELECT * FROM XMLForHomework FOR XML RAW
SELECT * FROM XMLForHomework FOR XML RAW, ELEMENTS
--SELECT * FROM XMLForHomework FOR XML PATH('Path')
SELECT * FROM XMLForHomework FOR XML PATH, ELEMENTS
--
DROP TABLE XMLForHomework

I'm not sure what you mean by "always the same." There are things that you can't do with Raw that you can with Path.

This code creates a subelement for each row that has the name called Name, with two attributes. You can't do that with Raw.
