How do I generate nested XML for many to many relationship in sql server 2008?
The situation is there are courses and lecturers and they have a many to many relationship (1 course can have many lecturers, 1 lecturer can teach many courses)
The following XML repeats the course name:
SELECT
C.COURSE_ID "@course_id"
, C.COURSE_NAME "Course_Name"
--get lecturer id(s) of the course
, CL.LECTURER_ID
FROM
COURSE C LEFT JOIN COURSE_LECTURER CL ON C.COURSE_ID = CL.COURSE_ID
--LEFT JOIN AS ALL COURSES DON'T HAVE LECTURERS COULD BE INNER :)
FOR XML PATH('Course'), ROOT('Program')
It gives me the following output (snippet):
<Course course_id="ISFND 1.1">
<Course_Name>Relational Databases and SQL</Course_Name>
<LECTURER_ID>ME123</LECTURER_ID>
</Course>
<Course course_id="ISFND 1.1">
<Course_Name>Relational Databases and SQL</Course_Name>
<LECTURER_ID>HS123</LECTURER_ID>
</Course>
But the output I want is:
<Course course_id="ISFND 1.1">
开发者_JAVA百科 <Course_Name>Relational Databases and SQL</Course_Name>
<LECTURER_ID>ME123</LECTURER_ID>
<LECTURER_ID>HS123</LECTURER_ID>
</Course>
I guess there is some problem in my sql for many to many may be I need to use IN or something like for each. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
SELECT
C.COURSE_ID "@course_id"
, C.COURSE_NAME "Course_Name"
, (SELECT CL.LECTURER_ID
FROM COURSE_LECTURER CL
WHERE C.COURSE_ID = CL.COURSE_ID
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE)
FROM COURSE C
FOR XML PATH('Course'), ROOT('Program')
