  I have an XML file in the following format and want to import it into the following table. How do I do this?

  CREATE TABLE LookupTable (TableName varchar(128), ColumnName varchar(128), LookupValue varchar(255))

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">

  <lookupsEntry table="L_RACETYPES">

  <value column="RACETYPE">6</value>

  <value column="RACECODE">0</value>

  <value column="RACEDESC">Other than listed race</value>

  <value column="RACERANK" />

  </lookupsEntry>

  Something like this?

  SELECT

  T.c.value('@table[1]','VARCHAR(30)') as TableName,

  U.v.value('@column[1]','VARCHAR(30)') as ColumnName,

  U.v.value('.[1]','VARCHAR(30)') as LookupValue

  FROM @xml.nodes('lookupsEntry') T(c)

  CROSS APPLY T.c.nodes('value') U(v)
