How to query for rows along with their xml representation?
I need something like
select * from tb_listings for xml auto
But I need every row to be separate, and not one big xml document.
I have tried something like the following:
select id, (select * from tb_list开发者_JAVA百科ings a where a.id=id for xml auto) as xmldata from tb_listings
Expected output is like:
id xmldata
------------------------------------------------------------
1 <listing><name>ABC</name><xyz>123</xyz></listing>
But it doesn't seem to do what I want and it also takes a very long time to run.
Any ideas would be appreciated. :)
Edit: Figured it out:
select id, (select top 1 * from tb_listings a where a.id=b.id for xml auto) from tb_listings b
Closing.
try something like this:
DECLARE @YourTable table (PK1 int, c1 int, c2 varchar(5), c3 datetime)
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (1,2,'abcde','1/1/2009')
INSERT INTO @YourTable VALUES (100,200,'zzz','12/31/2009 23:59:59')
--list all columns in xml format
SELECT
t2.PK1 --optional, can remove this column from the result set and just get the XML
,(SELECT
*
FROM @YourTable t1
WHERE t1.PK1= t2.PK1
FOR XML PATH('YourTable'), TYPE
) as Row
FROM @YourTable t2
OUTPUT:
PK1 Row
----------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 <YourTable><PK1>1</PK1><c1>2</c1><c2>abcde</c2><c3>2009-01-01T00:00:00</c3></YourTable>
100 <YourTable><PK1>100</PK1><c1>200</c1><c2>zzz</c2><c3>2009-12-31T23:59:59</c3></YourTable>
