Does anyone know how to get the value = "Avis" from this XML.
DECLARE @myDoc XML
DECLARE @ProdID VARCHAR(200)
SET @myDoc = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bookstore>
<book category="web">
<title lang="en"> Kick Start</title>
<author>James McGovern</author>
aaaaaa
</book>
</bookstore>'
SELECT @myDoc.value('/bookstore/book/span/@class', 'varchar(200)')

It is not possible, as the value "Avis" does not exist in the sample data

I usually have a bad reaction when people use absolutes. Never say never 🙂

DECLARE @myDoc XML;

SET @myDoc
    = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<bookstore>

<book category="web">

<title lang="en"> Kick Start</title>

<author>James McGovern</author>

aaaaaa
</book>

</bookstore>';

DECLARE @Str1 VARCHAR(500) = CAST(@myDoc AS VARCHAR(500));

SELECT SUBSTRING(@Str1, 19, 1) + SUBSTRING(@Str1, 87, 1) + SUBSTRING(@Str1, 35, 1) + SUBSTRING(@Str1, 6, 1);

Thanks you so much!

Due to the clash of you div names with the web page, I am not recreating the actual xml here.

This should also get what you are looking for.

SELECT  @myDoc.value( '(bookstore/book/div)[1]/@data-store-name', 'varchar(200)' );
