SQl for xml auto

  • I have 2 tables

    Manager

    Manager_id varchar(10)

    Manager_name Varchar(40)

    Data:

    1,Jose Cruz

    2,Al Davids

    SubManger

    Manager_id varchar(10)

    SubManager_id varchar(10)

    SubManager_name varchar(40)

    Data:

    1,1,Justin_pomp

    1,2,David A

    1,3,Manci T

    1,4,Terry G

    2,5,Terrence F

    2,6,Yan P

    2,7,Bill S

    2,8, John S

    Employee

    Employee_id varchar(10)

    Manager_id varchar(10)

    SubManager_id varchar(10)

    Employee_name varchar(60)

    Data is a combination of the above tables with employee info.

    I want to formulate an XML file Which looks like below where

    count is the count of Employees reporting to subManager and Manager

    <Manager manager_name="Jose Cruz" counts="12">

    <SubManager subManager_name="Justin Pomp" count="2"/>

    <SubManager subManager_name="David A" count="3"/>

    <SubManager subManager_name="Manci T" count="4"/>

    <SubManager subManager_name="Terry G" count="3"/>

    </Manager>

    <Manager manager_name="Al Davids" counts="14">

    <SubManager subManager_name="Terrence F" count="4"/>

    <SubManager subManager_name="Yan P" count="2"/>

    <SubManager subManager_name="Bill S" count="3"/>

    <SubManager subManager_name="John S" count="5"/>

    </Manager>

    My Question: How do I write a sql statement with for auto clause? It does not allow me to write a Group by and have XML AUTO.

  • This was removed by the editor as SPAM

  • Just treat it as a derived table, like this:

    select * from (your query here) as a for xml auto.

    Remember to alias any aggregate columns in your group by.
