Parse XML To build Dynamic Query

I am trying to figure out the best way to handle a scenario where I will be passed XML that will contain criteria for a search. If the user has selected specific filters then those will be sent in the XML and if there is a section that they left unfiltered then it will not be present in the XML (Which would mean everything for that filter should be returned).

My question is around the best process to shred the XML and build a dynamic query out of what i am getting out of the XML object. Is there a better way to handle this scenario?

Here is my current approach:

  1. Shred the XML and put the filtered data into Global Temp Tables so that I can use them to build my dynamic query.
  2. Use those temp tables to create "Where Exists" Criteria within the query to filter down the results based on what was passed to me in XML. If one of the search criteria sections wasn't filtered the temp table would have zero rows and I wouldn't add that to the where clause with an exists state开发者_如何学Cment.
  3. I used FOR XML PATH('') in the queries to roll up the data into comma separated values.

Is there a better way to handle Shredding the XML or building the dynamic pieces?

Always appreciate the info.

ALTER TABLE [test].[Categories] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Categories] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [CategoryID] ASC ) ON [PRIMARY]
ALTER TABLE [test].[Products] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Products] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ProductID] ASC ) ON [PRIMARY]

ALTER TABLE [test].[Products_Categories] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Products_Categories] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ProductID] ASC, [CategoryID] ASC ) ON [PRIMARY]
ALTER TABLE [test].[Products_Types] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_Products_Types] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ProductID] ASC, [TypeID] ASC ) ON [PRIMARY]
