  Hi all, I'd like to delete A3 from the XML variable below, however I get "XQuery [modify()]: The XQuery syntax '/function()' is not supported."

  Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  DECLARE @XML XML = '<Attribute>

  <A1>6529</A1>

  <A2>6529</A2>

  <A3>6529</A3>

  </Attribute>'

  DECLARE @n VARCHAR(100) = 'A3'

  SET @XML.modify('delete (/Attribute/sql:variable("@n")[1]) ')

  SELECT @XML

  You need to reference the local-name() of the element to use a variable in that way.

  DECLARE @XML XML = '<Attribute>

  <A1>6529</A1>

  <A2>6529</A2>

  <A3>6529</A3>

  </Attribute>';

  DECLARE @n VARCHAR(100) = 'A3';

  SET @XML.modify('delete (/Attribute/*[local-name()=sql:variable("@n")]) ');

  SELECT @XML;
