    What is wrong with this statement?

    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.dbo.#Test') IS NOT NULL

    DROP TABLE #Test

    CREATE TABLE #Test (id int identity primary key, col2 xml)

    INSERT INTO #Test (col2) VALUES ('<root><tag1 level="ala">eeee</tag1></root>')

    INSERT INTO #Test (col2) VALUES ('<root><tag1 level="ela">eeee</tag1></root>')

    INSERT INTO #Test (col2) VALUES ('<root><tag1 level="ola">eeee</tag1></root>')

    DECLARE @var nvarchar(100) = 'ala'

    SELECT * FROM #Test WHERE col2.exist('/root/tag1[@level="{sql:variable("@var")}"]') = 1

    Just remove the barckets and quotation marks from your variable reference:

    SELECT * FROM #Test WHERE col2.exist('/root/tag1[@level=sql:variable("@var")]') = 1
