dear all,
please help me with this query that i still can't find the right solution
i have this query to generate a xml file:
declare @output xml;
set @output =
(
select 'CPAW3' as '@fileType',
(
select
upper(VCLUBCD) 'clubId',
upper(VCLUBNM) 'clubName',
convert(varchar(10), DCLUB, 120)+' 00:00:00' 'tglBerdiri',
upper(VCTYCLB) 'kotaDomisili',
upper(VPICCLB) 'ketuaClub',
upper(VJNSCLB) 'jenisClub',
upper(VTYPCLB)'tipeClub'
from master_club
for xml path('row'), type
)
for xml path('dataReq')
);
select @output
the result is:
<dataReq fileType="CPAW3">
<row>
<clubId>00001</clubId>
<clubName>HONDA TIGER MAILING LIST</clubName>
<tglBerdiri>1978-10-25 00:00:00</tglBerdiri>
<kotaDomisili>3101</kotaDomisili>
<ketuaClub>BUDI</ketuaClub>
<jenisClub>SPORT</jenisClub>
<tipeClub>TIGER</tipeClub>
</row>
<row>
<clubId>0002</clubId>
<clubName>SUZUKI CLUB</clubName>
<tglBerdiri>2002-10-05 00:00:00</tglBerdiri>
<ketuaClub>ADY</ketuaClub>
<jenisClub>BEBEK</jenisClub>
<tipeClub>SATRIA</tipeClub>
</row>
</dataReq>
as you can see that in second row, column "kotaDomilisi" is ommited from the XML, this is because the value is NULL.
need ur help, how i can deal with NULL column "kotaDomisili", so it can be written like
<kotaDomisili></kotaDomisili>??
i had used ELEMENTS XSINIL, to product XML tag like <kotaDomisili xsi:nil="true" />
but the system still won't accept it.
help me please...thx in advance...

This seems to work

declare @master_club table(VCLUBCD varchar(100),VCLUBNM varchar(100), DCLUB datetime,

VCTYCLB varchar(100),VPICCLB varchar(100),VJNSCLB varchar(100),VTYPCLB varchar(100))

insert into @master_club

select '00001','HONDA TIGER MAILING LIST','19781025 00:00:00','3101','BUDI','SPORT','TIGER' union all

select '00002','SUZUKI CLUB','20021005 00:00:00',null,'ADY','BEBEK','SATRIA'

declare @output xml;

set @output =

(

select 'CPAW3' as '@fileType',

(

select

upper(VCLUBCD) 'clubId',

upper(VCLUBNM) 'clubName',

convert(varchar(10), DCLUB, 120)+' 00:00:00' 'tglBerdiri',

upper(VCTYCLB) 'kotaDomisili',

upper(VPICCLB) 'ketuaClub',

upper(VJNSCLB) 'jenisClub',

upper(VTYPCLB)'tipeClub'

from @master_club

for xml path('row'), type, ELEMENTS XSINIL

)

for xml path('dataReq')

);

select @output

Hi Mark,

As i stated before, i had used ELEMENTS XSINIL, to product XML tag like <kotaDomisili xsi:nil="true" />

but the system still won't accept it. The system will accept XML tag like this : <kotaDomisili></kotaDomisili>, if the value is NULL

Apologies, didn't read your post fully.

I don't think it's possible to generate

instead of

Would the system accept a single space instead of an empty string by using this

ISNULL(upper(VCTYCLB), ' ')
