Hi ,
We have a requirement in which we need to Query an XML which has child and sub child(structure mentioned below) and we want to insert the data into corresponding different tables. For eg,
<ID>
<NO>1</NO>
<Code>C001</Code>
<Program>
</NO>
</Detail>
<Project>
<ID>1</ID>
<Name>ABC</Name>
</Project>
<Project>
<ID>2</ID>
<Name>ADG></Name>
</Program>
</ID>
Number of Projects under program can be many(not only 2). The details need to be inserted into 2 tables ID and Project. Please suggest me how to do the same using stored procedure.
Thanks
Jim

The example XML wasn't well formed so I have had to tweak it to make it valid.. To shred this you would need to use the nodes() function. Here is an example script to get you started with shredding it:
DECLARE @xml XML
SET @xml = '
<ID>
<NO>1</NO>
<Code>C001</Code>
<Program>
<Project>
<ID>1</ID>
<Name>ABC</Name>
</Project>
<Project>
<ID>2</ID>
<Name>ADG</Name>
</Project>
</Program>
</ID>'
SELECT t.c.value('(NO/text())[1]', 'int') AS 'NO'
, t.c.value('(Code/text())[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS 'Code'
, p.c.value('(ID/text())[1]', 'int') AS 'Project_ID'
, p.c.value('(Name/text())[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS 'Project_Name'
FROM @xml.nodes('/ID') AS T(C)
CROSS APPLY T.C.nodes('Program/Project') AS P(C)
returns
NOCodeProject_IDProject_Name
1C0011ABC
1C0012ADG

Thanks arthurolcot!.
There is a small change in the table structure in which the data needs to get inserted.
CREATE TABLE ID(
NO_PK INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
Id INT
)
CREATE TABLE PROJECT(
NO_PK_Project INT IDENTITY(100,1) PRIMARY KEY,
NO_FK_ID INT REFERENCES ID(NO_PK),
PROJECTID INT,
ID INT,
PROJECTNAME VARCHAR(20)
)
Before inserting into project table I need to know the corresponding ID(NO_PK) and insert the respective rows. Then continue the same. Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi Jim, It's probably me not understanding the data structure or maybe the example XML is missing some elements, but I can't see where all the columns map to the XML nodes.
In your ID table, you have a column id. does that map to the XML node /ID/NO ? If so then I don't see the point of this table.
Also in your project table you have a column PROJECTID and a column ID, where do they map to? I can only see /ID/Program/Project/ID.
Is the example XML missing any nodes?

Please share any hint/ideas to approach this xml

Personally if I was working with an xml structure like that and had to populate a number of tables, then I would consider shredding it to a single temp table first and then work with data from the temp table. Shredding xml is expensive so you should minimise how often you query the xml.
Here is an example query that takes your example xml and then creates a single table from it. I haven't extracted all of the columns, but you should be fill in the gaps yourself by looking at the code. The main thing to remember is that for each repeating xml node i.e. <FirstChild> and <SecondChild> etc, you'll need a CROSS APPLY. You could adapt this to put the data into a temp table first and then insert/update your other tables from the temp table.
hope it helps..
